was enjoyed by a near full vil- lage hall on Saturday evening.' I Downside, who provided the I music, is a Lancashire-based acoustic blues trio playing its own interpretation of classic blues music. At all times dur­ ing the evening the music- remained sympathetic to the original blues. The mellow voice of Gwen Crawford was complemented beautifully by two extremely skilled guitarists. This, com­ bined with an additional slide show, gave an excellent intro­ duction of the genre to an audience mostly new to the blues, and offered an authentic experience to the "blues" fans present. The trio was completed by


John Kirkham on harmonica, vocals and guitar, with Tim Bleazard on guitar, and all three are competent, profes­ sional musicians. All in all, the event provid­


ed a perfect relaxing evening out with friends. Supper was provided by the


local cafe, Puddleducks, and consisted of hot-pot and veg­ etable lasagne. The concert was in aid of the local youth group and the village hall.
