BREIZOZ FEB 11

The joint was jumping last night as Bruce 'Bubba' Williams and friends tore apart the Nelson Place pancake eatery and put it back together with their own brand of Rockabilly glue. Ably assisted by his pals, Greg on drums and guitar and Chris raging on pyrotechnic mouthharp with Don Gula riffing and popping on bull fiddle they rocked the absolutely packed out house with their mix of home grown blues and jug rock. The scintillating and inspired picking of Williams set the scene for a great couple of hours of partying, letting the good times roll and roll and rock some more.
Also nestled in amongst that maelstrom of music was the fiddle of Grumpy Greg O'Leary and the superb banjo of Jim Golding of Coolgrass fame.
Bruce moved to Newport to get more involved in the musical activities that are becoming a hallmark of Western Suburbs culture, and last nights' contribution and the amazing turnout shows how well he has succeeded in becoming a local hero.
This was the first in the series for 2010 and based on last night it would be wise to book ahead for the next one. Bruce will be back as a member of our very own Barbershop Chorus and as co- leader of the Newport Bush Orchestra, both scheduled to perform at Breizoz later in the year.
