The Blues Room # 322 Interview with Ray Beadle

Ray Beadle is an established Australian blues musician. And has been playing guitar from a very young age. His considerable talent was noticed in the early part of this century while performing a 3 month residency with the house band in B.B King’s Club in Memphis and Buddy Guy’s Blues Club in Chicago as well as several Southern Blues festivals in the US of A.

Chris Cain remarked, “Ray is unquestionably one of the finest musicians I have come across … His song writing has a harmonic and emotional depth that many strive for but few capture. Ray’s guitar work, well, lets just say this cat is VERY dangerous.”

Ray will be performing at Byron Bay's Bluesfest on Sat 7 April, Sun 8 April and Mon 9 April 2012 ... and I'll be there!!!!!
