Slim Lightfoot plays blues infused music be it a down home old style delta tune via Son House to a rip roaring Electro like garage blues, taking along a Howlin' Wolf lick or two to liven up the brew or even an accordion to drive the groove. The four tunes available for download are evidence of this and showcase an everlasting regard for blues music without sounding too derivative or contrived.
He has supported such acts as Andre Williams, The Black Keys, Jason Ringenberg (& The Scorchers), & Jem Finer (The Pogues) and can be caught either in a solo capacity thumping his much maligned Stomp Board or with The Backbones who thicken up an already big sound.
Slim works the streets, the bars, the clubs, festivals, private functions, even an odd tune finds its way on the radio or TV (BBC1, CH 4 & Radio 2) as well as countless stations in the States. Himself and the band are available directly for bookings, so if your feeling brave and have the currency, get in touch because this is his life and living and he wants to keep on keeping on and bugging you with his blues infused music.

Hello! Where are you playing in Midhurst on the 16th? That's our neck of the woods and we would most definatally come and see you if it wasn't a private bash! Any way, here is a lovely flyer for you promoting us haha, hope you are good!
Everyone was really impressed with you and the band Slim. Looking forward to next time, yours Guinessandjamesonsally, Mean Uncle Ethan. P.S. that was the coolest drum kit ever.
THE GREAT SWAMP BLOOZE GIG with ,from the bottom of the barrel, MUDLOW http://www. myspace. com/mudlow AND [D-66] 27 Feb 2009 JAMBOREE@ CABLE STREET STUDIOS ///566 CABLE STREET // E1W 3HB//3QUID///
The budget of the festival and the number of bands will be based on these presales. Please support the festival and help us bring in as many bands as possible.
We're featuring bands we like on our player each day. At least we're trying. The myspace player isn't always cooperating. Try selecting the alternate playlists. We can at least give you links to the bands myspace pages or websites.
These are bands that we hope to get involved with our festival. There's a lot of them. Check them out and add them as your friends. Send us a message and tell us how you like them and who we should be sure to bring in for the festival.
Thank you kindly Slim. I think that we must surely book you for our Blues club before too much time has passed. Yours guinessandjamesonselly, Mean Uncle Ethan.
How are you man? Gonna check out your space as it's been ages since I have....your dirty blues warrants much more listening methinks.
I figure that u may have even uploaded a new track as well?
Which leads nicely on to this next subject....
EXCERPT FROM LATTEST BLOG RE: NEW SONG ON OUR MYSPACE!
GREEN CARD!
New song on the space ALERT!!! Green card!
We have once again hooked up with Alex Grieg to bring you Green Card!
It's loud wild and features the lead guitar work of former member NACHO!!!
The drums are played by Ben THE DRUM GIANT!!!
You should find both thier profiles up on our top friends in about ten minutes of this blog being posted dudes (send em a message or a comment on the hard work they have put in on Green Card)!
The song is pretty surreal so don't try to hard to find some literal explanation behind the lyrics I guess the main idea behind the song was to take two different songs and splice them together!
hey slim , love your music , i sometimes see ya busking in guildford ....your the best busker ever ...if you ever need a bass player i can try my best at getting willie dixon sounds frm my bass guitar ...peace
