GEOFF ACHISON AND THE SOULDIGGERS ~ RECORDED LIVE AT GUITARS ACROSS THE BAY. NO LABEL GRACD14.
SINCE MAKING HIS APPEARANCE IN 1989 AS A MEMBER OF DUTCH TILDERS BAND AS LEAD GUITARIST GEOFF ACHISON HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC BLUES RECORDING ARTISTS OF THE LAST 35 YEARS. HAVING RECORDED WITH DUTCH FROM 1989-2001 AND AT THE SAME TIME PERFORMING WITH VIOLINIST ADRIAN KEATING AND SYDNEY SOULDIGGERS, TIM SAMPSON, JULIA DAY AND A STRING QUARTET AS “CLASSICALLY BLUE”. ALSO, AT THE SAME TIME PERFORMING AND RECORDING WITH THE GEOFF ACHISON BAND AND THE LIST GOES ON, SOLO RECORDINGS AND EIGHT ALBUMS WITH THE SOULDIGGERS. TO DATE GEOFF HAS APPEARED ON AROUND 27 DIFFERENT ALBUMS. THIS ALBUM, AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS, WAS RECORDED IN 2011 LIVE AT THE GUITARS ACROSS THE BAY MUSIC FESTIVAL HELD IN WILLIAMSTOWN, VICTORIA. IT FEATURES GEOFF ON ELECTRIC GUITAR AND VOCAL, MAL LOGAN ON KEYBOARD, ROGER McLACHLAN, BASS AND VOCALS AND GERRY PANTAZIS ON DRUMS. THE QUALITY OF THE AUDIO IS FANTASTIC AND DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A LIVE RECORDING AT ALL, WHICH SHOWS JUST HOW FAR TECHNOLOGY HAS COME OVER THE YEARS. GREAT BLUES ALBUM FROM ONE OF THE BEST *****
