BLUES MATTERS NIGHT
The Boom Boom Club, Sutton Utd FC 10/10/04
Roadhouse / Egypt / The Mellotones

...........Egypt followed and cranked up the volume as they powered their way through a muscular mix of Groundhogs, John Lee Hooker and self penned material. Guitarist Eric Chipulina is a chip off the old Tony McPhee block and together with the seamless bass playing of Alan Fish and the redoubtably Peter Correa on drums, the power trio even dipped into the Hogs past for “Split” (I forget which part to be honest), and a raucous Johnny Winter “Mean Town Blues”.

Best filed under heavy rocking blues, Egypt blew away any remaining cobwebs and fully deserved their hearty applause............
...........The whole evening was nicely wrapped up with a Roadhouse/Mellotones jam, which also featured Blues Matters harp playing scribe Pete Sergeant, Alan Fish on bass and a Mellotones roadie on guitar. The only missing figure here was the powerful Eric Chipulina on guitar............
.............A great three band bill then that never let up on the energy levels, and a great time was had by all.
