Recorded during Brendan's clinic/concert at 70's Bistro in Philippines. Brendan Power needs no introduction as "THE HARMONICA MAN" - having watched a lot of his videos online. But boy, my first experience of his harmonica playing is totally flabbergasting - his tone, his phrasing, his sound - out of this world! I've heard and seen a lot of harmonica experts but none like Brendan. What a performance!
The Bleu Rascals is the hottest thing going in Philippine blues scene 2011. They are young - but closing one's eyes and just listening to the music - these boys are aged and mature in blues rock language - they have dynamics, groove and nuance that can only be seen and heard on seasoned and serious veterans. Wonderful is the fact that they were able to carry the tune, responding to Brendan's cues and changes - and Paul Marney, guitar boy wonder - was able to stand his ground - toe to toe - in a call and response section with Brendan - awesome jam! awesome set!
Thanks to Tom Colvin of Blues Network Asia for organizing this event.

The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol’s most famous tourist attraction. They look like giant mole hills, or as some say, women’s breasts, and remind us of the hills in a small child’s drawing. Most people who first see pictures of this landscape can hardly believe that these hills are not a man-made artifact. However, this idea is quickly abandoned, as the effort would surely surpass the construction of the pyramids in Egypt. The chocolate hills consist of are no less than 1268 hills (some claim this to be the exact number). They are very uniform in shape and mostly between 30 and 50 meters high.
