"Impossible though it is to get the blues in Pembrokeshire in my experience, I am happy to support the coolest thing in West Wales since frozen crabmeat was invented ~ Let the good times roll." Griff Rhys Jones

5th March

The Aberjazz

AGM

In the Rugby Club

from 7pm

Followed by

The HOOCHIE COOCHIE BAND

As seen in the 2009 Festival. They play a mix of self-penned compositions and timeless classics such as St James’ Infirmary, Stormy Monday and of course Hoochie Coochie Man.  Mojo Morgan’s blues influences include Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith and Muddy Waters and all of the 60s blues from the UK such as Alexis Corner and John Mayall.  Mojo himself says, “The Hoochie Coochie Band is all about having fun with the music and the audience.”  They always manage to provide excellent entertainment and leave their audiences crying out for more.
