News, Reviews and Playing the Blues

The week started well with a good crowd in the Bread, Dundee. As always, the folks in Dundee proved to be a responsive bunch.

On to Tuesday 13 September and the Perthshire Advertiser published a review of our CD in which Paul Reoch called it "a class apart" and describes the title track Paper Boat as an "absolute gem". Pass on Through also comes in for some attention as a "real stand-out track which highlights the expertise of Wang Dang Delta" and following similar comments on Scottish Internet Radio we may be onto something here!

Friday's gig in the Grampian with Blues on Tap was the perfect end to the week. Good blues, good company, good craic. What more can you ask for?

If it ain't Wang Dang it ain't Delta!!!

Can't believe it's 5 weeks since the launch! Gearing up for a return to one of our favourite gigs - the Bread in Dundee (Saturday 10th @ 5.30pm). It's always a good appreciative crowd and they seem to respect our diversity and the fact that we enjoy what we do.

Last week saw a rare promotional appearance in the Bank St Gallery in Kirriemuir for Jim, Bassman Pete and me (Wang Dang Lite?) during the annual Traditional Music Festival. Thanks to those in attendance. Played most tracks from the CD and folks were very welcoming.

Speaking of the CD it has been the featured album of the week on Heartland FM with 2 tracks each day Monday to Friday. Feedback has been very positive. Also the longest track on the CD "Pass on Through" features on Scottish Internet Radio's Blues Connection Show this month (access through www.internetradio.co.uk ) with one listener posting a message on the discussion forum saying that it is "one of the best I've heard this year"!

Next week sees us playing a hometown gig in the Grampian Hotel, Perth supported by local band "Blues on Tap" (Friday 16 September, 8.30pm start).
