Mississippi April 2011

After a gap of five years Mark and Rick returned to Clarksdale MS to play at the 2011 Juke Joint Festival. Once again the boys teamed up with some great international talent - Stevie Myers from Ottawa on bass (Myers Brothers Blues Band) and Clarksdale's own Lee Andrew Williams Jnr on drums. Mark's sister and bro-in-law also came plus David Walker, sax man with one of Mark's other bands, the Maxwell Street Blues Band..
