April 1978. Louisiana Red had made his first English appearance at the end of 1977. Red was the artist who said: “Give me some money and let’s make an album.”

I thought: “And let’s make it live.” Red told me about this amazing harmonica player living in Paris, Sugar Blue. We made contact and booked him a train ticket. He arrived in London and told this amazing tale of being discovered on the streets of Paris by The Rolling Stones. And so to the 100 Club. 

Red and Blue set forth on stage to make the album. Some songs from Red solo and some with Blue adding harmonica. This album is a document of an evening in London that will never come again.
