Buddy Guy & Junior Wells

6 December 1972

Venue : Dallas Brooks Hall, East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

DATELINE : 1972 - THE AMERICAN BLUES FESTIVAL

The American Blues Festival was brought to Australia by promoter Kym Bonython. The concert festival featured two giants in the Blues music genre - Buddy Guy & Junior Wells (with their band). The US blues artist, Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup, was going to be part of this concert series however, sadly, this did not happen. Supporting act was Australian artist Jeanie Lewis - a worthy choice indeed!

The following photos were taken by me with my small Kodak instamatic camera. The venue was the Dallas Brooks Hall, East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on 6 December 1972.

[Buddy Guy is the one with the suit and guitar, and Junior Wells is the one in the white shirt & light checkered trousers & without a guitar]
