One word to describe the Lyndon Anderson band playing last night at the Hillswick Hotel - WOW!! 
We missed the first local band, the Donald Anderson band, unfortunately, but LA were somethin else! Really, really good!! Can only say that folks who like accessible, easy-to-listen-to, toe-tappin, body-wrigglin <you can tell it was difficult to sit still> blues/rock/soul/funk missed an incredible opportunity last night. Pity that the turnout was disappointing - other things were also on on the same night - and I wouldn't be surprised if the Blues Festival organisers didn't bother taking it out <free!!> to us again in this format. The same band had played yesterday afternoon, before coming out to Hillswick, at Baroc - and we heard the place was jumpin. A friend we met afterwards was raving over it and said how lucky we were to have them coming out to Hillswick.
