"Big" Pete Gale. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Big Pete Gale Ambassador Southend Eessex UK 1-8-09 .http://www.hotd.biz:80/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. He trod the board and played the Blues for over 30 years and was an exceptional Guitar Player bar none. His passion for the Blues was relentless and his support of others unwavering. He was a kind Gentle man that when words failed him, his Guitar never did. I loved him like a brother and owe him a life time of gratitude as do the thousands he made smile every Friday & Saturday night when he gigged. Terry Knott

The Cadillac Kings mail@cadillackings.co.uk 3/30/02 Norman Bishop writes, "From Essex (my home county). They specialize in performing good-time blues, swing and jive music and have been playing in the UK for the past three years during which time they’ve graduated from being hometown heroes to blues festival favourites. Their "Lou Ann" was entered in the US Swingawards this year. The results are available any time now. Their music is a mix of West Coast Jump, T-Bone Swing, Chicago Blues and Texas Shuffles. There are two band members worthy of note. Gary Potts (harmonica and vocals) - just think Sonny Boy Williamson and Walter Horton and you have his style summed up immediately. He produces a fat "warm" tone that is associated with classic amplified harp and in a relatively short time has become known as one of the UK's best harp players. Paul Morgan is on lead guitar - and for me sums up the essence of Muddy Waters. Paul is a master of the bluesy infill and solos, and complements Gary's harp playing like no other can.
