Bluesfest: Dennis Coffey

Dennis Coffey was one of my can't-miss acts at Bluesfest. The Funk Brothers legend and film scorer could certainly rest on his copious laurels, but as it happened he kicked out a solid new album in 2011.

You can get Dennis COffey in any colour you'd like, provided it's black.

Percussive action!

Once again, I don't know who he's performing with ... he must have a couple of backing groups on the go, because video of him at other festivals show a much younger crew.

I confess I didn't stay for the whole set, but all I heard was good.
