Mick writes..
The Big Blues Festival 2002 took place in a large circus tent by the side of the Mosel River in Luxembourg. Acts that day included Australia's Dave Hole, Mick Taylor, and the headliner.. Bo Diddley!
We played in the afternoon and had a great time - there was a tremendous vibe which comes across well on the CD. Later we took some fresh air by the river, before returning to bop around with Bo..(who was great, by the way!)
Our show was kindly recorded for us by Michael Reitz the engineer.. many thanks. After a little editing we felt that the recording should be made available on CD..it's got a great atmosphere and really captures the essence of the band's live show.
Many thanks to Dragan and the crew at the Big Blues for a great day.. and now you can be there too. The MC band Live in Luxembourg..

"This is superbly recorded and superbly played. It is Mick Clarke live, warts and all, and there are few that come close to touching him when he is on this form" BluesMatters!
"one hell of a kicking album ....... fiery, kick-ass boogie with Clarke straight from the wood sound.... eschewing all effects and relying on a unique mix of speed, light and shade, sustain and tone content" Soundcheck Magazine, London
"this band knows what the blues is all about" BluesBytes
"just a plain good recording which brings home the energy and enthusiasm that Mick puts into his gigs...well worth taking the trouble to look for!" Blues in Britain magazine... More Reviews
