Captures a night at London's well known vintage venue Bush Hall when the stage was shared with Jerron 'Blind Boy' Paxton. Takes you on a musical journey through Mississippi and Louisiana performing music by artists such as Memphis Minnie, Blind Boy Fuller, Rev Gary Davis. Acoustic duo project of Sister Suzie and Andy Twyman. Part of a growing movement in the UK presenting stripped back acoustic blues. Be ready to be transported back to the 1920s with a show of early folk blues evoking the playfulness, power and soul of the music and the people who created it. The duo are singer/songwriter, guitarist, occasional member of Dana Gillespie's Blues Band and sometime one-man-band Andy Twyman, and Sister Suzie, singer/songwriter and frontperson of The Right Band; both busy and popular artists in their own right. They have toured the UK and Europe extensively. (nothinginrambling. Com). Nothing in Rambling as the project name is taken from a Memphis Minnie song which Sister Suzie describes as "very poignant - and like so many in that era, it sounds deceptively cheery and upbeat, but the lyrics are dark, telling a tale of danger and bravery in taking to the road rambling especially as a black person. #and the struggles that women, especially black women, faced in that era. " Sister Suzie published a dissertation "Women In The Blues, Pre-1960' detailing the struggle that women, especially black women, had against the 'patriarchy' and in their own sexual liberation. The latter element was often written about observing the 'racy' side of life, and on songs such as 'Me And My Chauffeur' and 'Kissing In The Dark' Sister Suzie takes the cue to deliver with particular juke joint panache.
