I manage a stunning young band called Virgil and the Accelerators, for anyone who likes Blues/Rock this is a must see band. They have a debut album being launch Sept backed up with a UK. The album is already getting rave reviews. Virgil, the fontman is the finest guitarist to come out of the UK for many years (as acknowledged by his peers).

Wish I was going to be in the UK at some point to come along to one of these. I can vouch for the band though, having heard their music. Absolutely fantastic (even if you are not particularly a Blues Rock fan). I'll have to wait until the US tour.

Definitely agree with Roger, we were lucky enough to have them play just down the road from us and really enjoyed watching them. Unfortunately I'll be in Florida when they play closest to us in the UK! Now that's something I never thought I'd say!
