With the release of his latest album, A Trip, A Stumble, A Fall Down On Your Knees, Seasick Steve was at the Royal Concert Hall on Sunday night, spinning his traditional bayou blues and playing them on guitar, banjo, harmonica, diddly bow and stomp box.

It's a packed out Corn Exchange for the first night of Seasick Steve's first UK tour since 2015. Much has changed since his famous Hootenanny breakthrough moment, not least that the audience is now predominantly middle-aged and male.

It’s a question of authenticity and not to put too fine a point on it whether his post-fame image has been substantially built on a big lie.

Days before this apparently unreconstructed bluesman’s biggest-ever headlining show at Wembley which was to celebrate his 10th anniversary in the limelight a new biography arrived which blew the lid off his mysterious early years.

Appealing to all ages judging by the enthusiastic at-capacity audience this magic was no doubt aided by hard work and skills learned through years of playing so many different stringed instruments.

Now touring with his seventh studio album, Sonic Soul Surfer, Steve’s raw and unproduced sound has expanded from hillbilly blues, to out and out psychedelic rock n roll, and never forgetting that touch of southern folk.
