Christmas Day – free download

Christmas is fast approaching so we are relaunching our Christmas single from last year.

Last year we gave it away as a free download and this year, guess what, it’s FREE! (it’s always been free, but downloads tended to drop off during the summer!

The song, ‘Christmas Day’, is an original track, written by Tim on 2o12. We recorded it at Red Rock Studios in the South Wales Valleys and had great fun. Tim and Harvey’s kids got involved too and we threw some bells at it too.

Please do grab yourself a download and if you can share this post with your friends, maybe they’ll download it too.  We’re not trying to compete with X-Factor or AC/DC, we just want to share what we think is a great song, hope you love it!

Blues Dragon Gig

The band had a fantastic night yesterday (Sept 14th 2012) at the Café Jazz In Cardiff, playing for the Blues Dragon Club.  It’s a beautiful venue with a great restaraunt  and the Blues Dragon guys put a band on every Friday night at 10.00pm.

Our set is a mixture of originals and blues classics from our two CDs and a good selection of classic covers,so alongside our gospel blues stuff you get ‘Sweet Home Chicago’, ‘She Caught The Katy’, ‘When Love Comes To Town’, ‘Superstition’ and lots more besides, last night we decided to throw in ‘Route 66’ practiced it for the first time in the soundcheck and then threw it in the set.

You can find the Blues Dragon club at www.Bluesdragon.org.uk. Besides the Café Jazz nights they also promote live blues at the Gower Hotel in Cardiff so you can always trust them to find top quality bands.

Thanks to all who came out to see the band, we will be at Fagins in Taffs Well next Thursday (20th Sept) at 9.00pm, hope to see you there.

Welcome

Well, we finally went and did it! The Tim Crahart Blues band went and got a website! Welcome to the twentieth century everyone.

Now, we’re not likely to win any awards for innovative website design here, but if you have a poke around you will find that you can find out where we are playing, buy our music and look at our lovely phizzogs!

We will use this blog section for random musings from time to time, gig reviews, recording blogs, plugs for our mates and a bit of blues history.

Tim has promised to tell the Blind Willie Johnson story again so we’re all looking forward to that.

Meanwhile we hope to meet up with you at one of our forthcoming gigs, come and say hello.

Enjoy!

Tim, Harvey and Andy (The Deacon)
