Given the recent news of the postponement of both Erja Lyytinen and Samantha Fish's tours, yet more international Covid-19 gig casualties, it was so good to welcome not one, but two outstanding proponents of Blues Rock from beyond our shores at Chislehurst's The Beaverwood in Kent last night. Indeed, the last time we caught the French raised, Swiss based guitarist, Felix Rabin, was in pre-Covid times at London's Islington Assembly Hall in March 2020, with his power trio supporting the very same aforementioned Ms. Fish. As for Italian singer and guitarist, Eliana Cargnelutti, this was a first for us, although we had heard great reports of Ms. Cargnelutti's electric Funk, mixed with Pop and raw Rock plus tight Blues grooves, at her London Water Rats gig last week, a venue that Mr. Rabin also plays this Monday 24th January, if you didn't make it last night. Anyway, with a review and some great photos to come, check out today's Eliana (pictured) Video Of The Day.
