There was a huge outpouring of loving tributes to Bernie Marsden since he passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on 24th August 2023 at the age of 72.  I was lucky enough to see Bernie as part of the classic Whitesnake line up in the late 1970s and early 80s, and also got to meet him a couple of times at shows, and he was the most un-pretentious person you could hope to meet.

Review and photos by Peter Coates – https://www.facebook.com/InsideEdgePhotography

Back in Australia for BLUESFEST once more, Gary Clark Jr also managed to throw in a few sideshows in Australia, and Sydney got the third of these the night before he played the festival.  I was lucky enough to see this astonishing bluesman play the Factory Theatre and the Corner Hotel in 2013, and those two shows will long remain burned into the brain.
