Delta bluesman ‘Bud’ Welch visits
Published: 19:24, 06 May 2016
GOSPEL and blues guitarist Leo ‘Bud’ Welch is performing at The Norman Knight, Whichford, on Monday, 9th May.
He was born in Sbougla, Mississippi, in 1932 and is billed as one of the last of the old school Delta Bluesmen.
He made his living working in the logging industry and largely escaped the mainstream music scene until 2013 when he was secretly recorded by his now manager, and has since recorded two albums, including I Don’t Prefer No Blues, which he made in March last year, two days after his 83rd birthday. He will be accompanied by his band.
The event starts at 9pm and entry is free.
