INTERNATIONAL BLUES EVENT featuring GEOFF ACHISON & The Souldiggers plus TOBY WALKER

Event information

Two of the best blues inspired artists in the world come to the UK, their tours overlap and so The Collective brings you a DOUBLE BILL of INTERNATIONAL BLUES MUSIC.

TOBY WALKER & GEOFF ACHISON & THE SOULDIGGERS

Having taught himself to play guitar in the isolation of rural Australia, GEOFF ACHISON has developed a blues/funk style that is all his own. Coupled with a gritty, soulful voice and inspired by the great Blues and R&B music of yesteryear, Geoff’s guitar driven live set features an infectious mix of gutsy original tunes and dynamic new arrangements of blues & soul classics.

TOBY WALKER is virtuoso fingerstyle guitar adept at blues, rags and hot country picking; Toby’s passion for the blues sent him into the deep south where he learned directly at the feet of Etta Baker, Jack Owens and others.

If you know anyone who loves the guitar then they really can't miss this event. Its one for all ages - both these guys are self taught and both have won accolades for their guitar skills all over the world.

This is such a unique opportunity that this gig will be given a special review on Paul Jones's BBC 2 radio show on the Monday before this gig.

THE MENU FOR THIS EVENT:
It will have a Moroccan theme with a Lamb & Apricot Tagine and a Pumpkin, Date & Nut Tagine

all served with coriander infused couscous plus a choice of spicy falafels and coriander flat bread courtesy of The Friendly Loaf Company (which uses locally produced flour grown and stone milled from the Woolpit and Pakenham)

HOW WE SOURCE OUR FOOD:
The lamb we're cooking with was reared on our nearest National Trust estate - in fact most of the ingredients are from within a 20 mile radius (but until Suffolk hits a yearly heatwave - we'll be sourcing our nuts and dates .....from further afield!)
