Smiling Jack Smith and Felix Slim team up

1st October 2004

Smiling Jack & Felix meet at The Acoustic Stage 2004


For some time Smiling Jack Smith and Felix Slim, who met at the 2004 Isle of Man Blues Festival, have been talking about getting together for a duo set and it has finally happened.

In an e-mail today Jack says:

"Hi Chris
Well, what a gas! we just finished three days in La Coquette, mythic blues bar in Madrid, and everybody was knocked out. The mixture of Felix and his traditional blues style with my modern personal blues worked like a charm and we had a great time. We have the night off today and tomorrow we have a concert in my village that I expect to be packed with friends from all over the area.

We have been talking about plans for the future and both of us would love to do something next year with you guys.

Stay in touch and be well.

Smiling Jack Smith"
