About me:

Bob and Norm present the Blues Show on GTFM 107.9, in South Wales and LIVE on World-Wide Web, every Monday from 8.00 to 10.00 p.m. They play the best in Blues, from Delta to Chicago to London to Texas. Blues Show Bob says: 'We feature anyone playing Blues music well on our show. We are comfortable with playing music from pub bands alongside International megastars.' During the nine + years in which we have been broadcasting the Blues Show, we have interviewed many great Blues performers including Savoy Brown's Kim Simmons, Tony McPhee, Walter Trout, Connie Lush, Lazy Lester, Studebaker John, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Zoot Money, Paul Jones, Dave Kelly, John Mayall, Eric Bibb, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Buddy Whittington, the late Long John Baldry, Nine Below Zero, Oli Brown, Dani Wilde, Maggie Bell, Dr. David Evans, Toby Walker, Johnny Winter, Andy Fairweather Low, Deborah Bonham, David 'Honeyboy' Edwards, Larry Miller, The Fabulous Thunderbirds' Kim Wilson, Michael Roach, Norman Beaker, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Coco Montoya, Erja Lyytenin, Kent DuChaine, legendary Chris Farlowe, Mud Morganfield and many more. We have also given World Premieres to a number of CDs by such diverse performers as Danny Bryant, Gregg Wright, Ian Parker, Blue Traffic, Dozy, Storm Warning and Larry Miller. We have also hosted a number of Blues Festivals introducing many stars of the Blues world like John Hammond, Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton and Bob Margolin as well as a multitude of British Blues performers. A fairly recent development for the Blues Show is the number of artists keen to come to the studio to record Live sets. So far we've welcomed Hamilton Loomis, Derrin Nauerndorf, Ian Parker, The Boogie Men, Brazilian Big Gilson, Sherman Robertson, Ian Siegal, Dave Arcari, The Spikedrivers, Rob Tognoni, Racing Cars, Aynsley Lister, Steve Arvey, Blue Traffic, Jay Tamkin and Buddy Whittington Band to our studio. Many well-known names - including Danny Bryant, Sean Webster and Jack The Biscuit are queueing to record for us. Why not join the list? We've now got new studio recording facilities available thanks to the Green Rooms, Treforest and they do a superb job! Get in touch! Very recently we've started telephone interviews whilst the show is Live and we've been fortunate enough, so far, to talk with Slim of The Hamsters, Danny Bryant, Jay Tamkin, Andy Fairweather Low, Paul Lamb and Snowy White. Lots more to come. If you would like your music considered for airplay, send us a demo together with a short biographical piece! We report our playlist every week to the Blues DJ Network so your name could become known worldwide! MAILING ADDRESS:- GTFM BLUES SHOW Pinewood Studios Pinewood Avenue Rhydyfelin PONTYPRIDD CF37 5EA United Kingdom ***************************** Don't forget!!! The Blues Show now airs from 8.00 to 10.00 p.m. every Monday night. Discerning listeners might realise that there is another established Blues radio programme elsewhere from 7.00 p.m. (it's good to have a warm-up man!) so it is possible now to get three consecutive hours of Blues music every Monday (and you're guaranteed that the final two will be of superb quality)! Tune in on 107.9 FM in South Wales or online at www.gtfm.co.uk.
****** From 8.00 to 10.00 p.m. (UK Time) every Monday ****** Lots do! Why not join them? email:- mail@gtfm.co.uk
Tel:- 01443 404404

QUESTION: Is this now the only dedicated Blues Show broadcast to the World from Wales? Or is it simply the best? (Welsh rhetoric is supposedly famous the world over)! In fact, we had an email from a musician from the Home Counties (who shall remain nameless to save his blushes) in which he opines that ours is 'the best show on the net.' I won't argue with him... How 'bout you? Check us out on Facebook too! Blues Show Bob & Norm We are also developing a website - www.itsthebluesshow@weebly.com

Who I'd like to meet:

Robert Plant - He's like a manic depressive of the octaves. I admire his work and have now forgiven him for almost bursting my eardrums with Zeppelin in 1972! (Long John Baldry once confided to us that he saw Zeppelin playing the Marquee in their early days but they were so loud, they made his nose bleed)!******* Eric Clapton - He's probably done more to popularise Blues music than anyone since Muddy Waters. I take my hat off to him and if he's ever in Pontypridd, we'll spare him a few minutes. Might even make him coffee and invite him to relax and play guitar with us... (Bob will jam with anyone; teach them a couple of chords). ********** Muddy Waters and Billy Holiday - sadly, too late but we have interviewed Muddy's eldest son a couple of times now!
