HUBERT SUMLIN in Leeds, UK 

ONE SUMMER EVENING IN 2002.

 

This page is for 10,000Friend, Sean Carthy, who missed the gig because a few days earlier a criminal had broken two of Sean's vertebrae.

A long time ago Hubert Sumlin was Howlin' Wolf's guitarist. Even if you haven't heard of Hubert or Wolf, you must surely have heard of these dudes: 
1

"Hubert is the heaviest, most original guitar player I've ever heard in my life and that's the truth."  Stevie Ray Vaughan

 

"My favorite guitarist is Hubert Sumlin."  Jimi Hendrix 

 

"Hubert Sumlin is truly amazing!"  Eric Clapton

If you haven't heard of any of them then you're probably of very tender years, but even so, I would respectfully suggest that you give some serious thought as to whether or not you've been taken prisoner by an oppressive regime!

 

 

One night in the summer of 2002 Hubert and his band played a superb gig at The New Roscoe in Leeds, UK.

 

 

 

 

 10,000things.org.uk wants you to know that for $9.99 pcm you can download loads of Hubert's music from EMusic, a dead legit site where the musicians do get some of your money.  

And if you're well organised you could download it all during the free trial period!

After the gig Will Newman spoke with Hubert. By way of advice presumably, Hubert told Will to, "Commit a Cra-a-ahm". Whether or not Will has acted on that advice? Hmm.
