** Earl Thomas with Paddy Milner and the Big Sounds - November dates ** 
Earl Thomas with Paddy Milner and the Big Sounds will be playing a short run of UK and one Irish date in November. 
"Singer Earl Thomas grew up in rural Tennessee and was a British rock & roll fan. Piano player and composer Paddy Milner was born in Scotland, grew up in England and loved American blues. Years later they would meet, realizing their soulful bond had transcended space and time. They, who seemed so different on the outside, harbored a kindred musical spirit on the inside. And it is reflected on their new recording “Earl Thomas With Paddy Milner & The Big Sounds,” a stunning collection of contemporary blues/rock."

** TENBY BLUES FESTIVAL ** 

Tenby, on Wales magical South West coast is buzzing with anticipation for the 4th. Blues Festival which is happening on the weekend of 13th. – 15th. November.
The team behind the festival have been beavering away to make sure that despite the financial atmosphere a cracking line up of blues stars (and future stars) will be raising the roofs all around the town. Concert prices have been pegged at last years rates, and there are twice as many free gigs than last year, making it even better value.

The team are determined to bring many different aspects of blues music to the friendly seaside town, from piano based big band soul, classic 60’s R’n’B. to modern & vintage acoustic artists. The great soul singer Earl Thomas with Paddy Milner and The Big Sounds headline the Friday night at the Devalence supported by The Coalhouse Walker band from Leicester. Singer Earl Thomas grew up in rural Tennessee and teamed up with rocking pianist Paddy Milner during a Blues Cruise in the Caribbean. “I think that the blues wants to evolve, and we want to be leaders in that evolution ….. we want to break new ground” said Earl Thomas.

All day on Saturday the town’s pubs clubs and restaurants will be bursting with free music of all kinds, with extra late night sessions at the Giltar Hotel. An acoustic jam will take place in the afternoon for all players and Saturday night’s big gig will be in the monster hands of Nine Below Zero - classic sixties British rhythm & blues.

On Saturday and Sunday blues films will be shown late morning and DJ Eugene will spin those 45’s in the Devalence foyer in the afternoons, so there will be something to suit everyone for a great weekend in Wales, all indoors and many events free! See the website http://www.tenbyblues.co.uk and get your tickets now.
