For Bluey, it is a chance to get close to his audience. Its not about playing the tune just to get applause. Its about communicating, making sure people get it. If I had to pick out some memorable gigs, Id say Sofia in Bulgaria, feeling the power of a crowd that is hungry for music. Playing the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival in 2005; the first Java Jazz Festival that same year; our first time in Japan at Club Yellow in Tokyo; and more recently, our South American dates in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. The crown for most enthusiastic audience, however, goes to Seoul in South Korea, crazy love!Now almost 40 years on, the Bluey and Incognito story remains a uniquely Great British adventure.
