New Orleans, USA, 3rd November 2014.

Naturally, being in New Orleans, we went off to see some bands.  Why else would we have come?  (OK, food, culture and ambience but the music was the main draw).  This is Young Fellaz Brass Band, who play every night on Frenchmen Street, just a couple of blocks from where we were staying.

The rest of the images are of Mem Shannon’s band, playing in Bamboula’s, also on Frenchmen St.

A wonderful night it was.  Mem Shannon plays Blues and Soul, an accomplished band with very mellow singing.
