| You say you are "DEAF", were you deaf prior to your visit to the gig?
If so then I don't think I'll take much notice of your extatic review as it
could be miss-leading ;-)

JJ, Saw Johnny in the Half moon in putney a while back. Excellent
and loud muzik. He didnt have a vast quantity of widgets on his harp
when i saw him tho, must have made a few bob since then. BTW are
there any albums, I had never heard of him before and had forgotten
the Name of the band until you jogged my memory.

| The BBC compilation album "Blues On 2", made up from live sessions
taken from Paul Jones' Thursday night Radio 2 prog, has a Johnny
Mars track on it - I think it's "Born Under A Bad Sign", although
I'm not certain. I don't know if he's recorded anything else, I'll
look in my Virgin Megamail book tonite and post titles tomorrow
- if they exist.
I can recommend the "Blues On 2" album, though.

| Not heard of any albums, I think they're playing in
Surbiton again soon (someone has to) so if I go I'll
collar one of the band and demand tapes...

Dave,
Is this album easy to get in the UK?. I'm a BIG blues
fan and would be interested in geeting this one. Is it
in the same 'vein' as the John Peel releases of the
various artists he had on his show over the years. I've
been on the look-out for those albums over here in Ireland
for over the last year but to no 'avail'.
Are they special BBC issues or are they on general release
through out all the major record stores.

Blues On 2 is available through any record shop. It's on the standard
BBC catalogue, which I don't think the Peel Sessions were - I think
another label bought the rights to those session tapes. Seek out Blues
On 2, the opening track is a superb Rory Gallagher number, and sets
the scene for 45 mins of good blues from such as Blues 'n' Trouble,
The Balham Alligators, and of course Mars; quality is good also, as you'd
expect from live Beeb sessions.
The only Johnny Mars album listed in my Virgin catalogue is titled
"The Mars/Fenwick Band", available on LP and cassette at #5.49.

| I saw the Johnny Mars Blues Band last weekend in Chelmsford
'kin' brilliant, that harp is a real weird one pre-amp and vol'
control on the all-in-1 mike/amp hand set.
Can't remember the name of the guitarist - a bit special though,
I've seen him before, I think it was with Ian Dury and the Musik
Students. (I saw Wilko Johnson and ex Ian Dury bass player on the
same bill).
Playing a Charvel through a distorted Session amp gave a
different feel to the 'blues'. I didn't like it that much but
technically the guy was great.
