Byron Blues Festival

Although the rain came down fairly heavily in the evening the Good Friday at Blues Fest, was really good.
Rodriguez was fantastic. At 70 his voice is still quite strong and he had a few pearls of wisdom to pass on to the huge crowd. Joan Armatrading belted out the hits - and showed off her guitar brilliance.
Ben Harper was as cool as ever, and a big crowd pleaser was a duet with Xavier Rudd towards the end of his set. We also saw some good Aussie acts: Skipping Girl Vinegar and Leonardo's Bride. I caught a guitar solo and a drum solo from Santana and his band. (pictured above: the Mojo tent, before the rain began).
