Kirk Fletcher (( A Night at the Workers Club ))

Every second of a blistering set in June, 2017. Damien Steele Scott on bass, Dave McEvoy on keys , Andrew Bignell on drums with special guests Snooks La Vie (harmonica) & Chris Finnen (guitar).

[@Richardjn]

Kirk is one if the best all round blues players ever!! Phrasing, dynamics, vibe, tone he's got it all. A truly polished player...

[@liamerick7262]

definetely my favorite modern blues player, his phrasing just sets him apart.

@@liamerick7262 Wow he plays great it's exactly what I want to hear and he's a very special person

[@MoeJoe974]

What a great show. I only learned about Kirk a few months ago and he is already one of my favorite guitar players. From his interviews he seems like a great person with a multitude of good qualities.

[@GuitarJawn]

and a very nice guy

[@stanislavmigra]

For the skill Kirk has, he has very little ego and no need to be in spotlight every time. It is so nice to listen to that type of laid back blues

Yah, Kirk just keeps setting the bar higher and higher. The whole band is just stellar. When I hear people complaining about how life isn't fair, I think of musicians like these, where there is such a tremendous disparity of their worth and what they are actually paid. These guys should all be millionaires, what with all of their talent, hard work, chops and dedication, etc. In these days of high tech, why cannot we lovers of good music contribute/donate to a website, from anywhere in the world, where the money goes directly TO musicians such as these? Bypass all the middle money grubber's, etc? It just does not get any better than this, IMHO. But then again, Kirk keeps surprising myself and all of my music lover friends. Fantastic stuff. As a player, this is a lifetimes worth of lessons! Thanks so much!!!!!

[@nopenheimer]

2 years later, I just came here after watching a video with Brett Papa interviewing him. He mentioned a go fund me page to support his upcoming Album... I won't link because it would probably be mistaken as spam by filters, but it's a chance to do just what you mentioned. As this is in the top of the comments, others might see it. These artists deserve support.

Nothing beats a good old shuffle to start your set...

You know, the name of this theme?

[@mylesmcpherson8380]

Kirk Fletcher is a beast!!!! His play fits any music genre!!! Keep playing that "THANG"!!!!!

[@jakobcampbell8029]

The 15 idiots who gave this a thumbs down are all probably guitar players who think they are too good for blues. I would put money on at least 12 of them are.

[@kenster865]

@Dobie Dad Yeah, bet that's what got the thumbs down at least some of them, don't ya' think??

[@marioromero84]

@Dobie Dad Well, it looks like they really know how to party at the Communists Workers Party!

[@teiltje]

The set opened with Freddie King's spirit. Love these instrumentals! Great fun that people are moving there feet instead of just sitting there!

[@christophedelamusiquedesar7878]

Man, this is just what a Working Club needs to hear and experience. Bringing the most awesome blues to ordinary people. I love that. Words get in the way of saying how much I resonate with this whole gig. Cudos to all the fine musicians, and Kirk himself. A true gentleman and amazing blues musician. This gig transcends even history in my school of thought. It's a complete blues education based on deep roots. Ancient spirits groove. Deepest respect and thanks. Great performances by the whole ensemble. Vibe intense. Hits me.

[@jenet6498]

Kirks got the vibe, and the licks! Cheers from Guam...

[@spaceantelope1]

Kirk is The Real Deal! And if your drummer doesn’t know how to play a shuffle, or how to and when to set up a great fill, show them this video.

[@BrettSmithDaniels]

Wow! Kirks feel is just out of this world!! I'm sorry to say I'm only just discovering him, but oh man am I ever impressed

[@jonnybeck6723]

Looking good, sounding great and a crazy cool place to play... Oh and luv the B + W cheers

[@gerardgruny3645]

What a very great guitarist coming from new generation ! I was not disatisfied to saw him in Brittany !!!

[@hgostos]

Kirk is a very versatile player. He feels equally at home playing gospel in his father's evangelical church in the US and at an Australian Communist Party blues do in the Antipodes. One of my favourites!

[@forddriver8827]

Are you Australian?

[@pro.gnosis]

We all know Kirk is amazing, but this seems like a super cool place to play

[@jimyplayeshendrix]

To me it´s first class blues...pure energy...virtuoso...I mean , the band as a whole...great🙂😀😃

[@frogdogify]

Fantastic musicianship! That key tickler likes to lay in the weeds

[@4tomhenry]

love this!!!!!!Great playing ALL OF YOU!! sounds so early Cream and lush... I LOVE A small trio or 4 piece SO MUCH! it says SO MUCH!!!

[@carlhart9604]

Every note swings, like BB King.

[@dcortevi]

Great Bass solo at 39 min. This man can jam! Can't wait for the Blues Album with Josh Smith and Joe Bonamassa.

[@cidertom5140]

Josh smith is awesome to on a different level I find the other one you mentioned to be a bit of a knob.

[@grahammonk1275]

I think I may have watched/listened to this 20+ times and it's still fab!

[@fadeskywards1245]

It DOES have an awesome quality of sound. 👌

[@joeysonner2158]

Such a KILLER show...good lord...kirk is the Fn MAN

[@melsimpson428]

Where does the opening number come from? My earliest memory is of Freddie King doing it. Also, I've never been able to nail it. You did! Thanks, I'm enjoying your playing immensely.

[@danielsuarez1431]

The tune is classic "Sidetracked" played by the great Hollywood Fats and Anson Funderburgh.

[@forddriver8827]

Kirk is a Blues Monster! Great to see folks dancing, I can't listen to Kirk without involuntary movements too! I hope we are graced by Kirk Fletcher in Australia some time soon. Come on Joe B, bring him with you next tour.

[@Alanoffer]

Hes. Got that Hideaway sound that Clapton had on the beano album . Gréât blues tone

[@DizzyKrissi]

Not a single slow-blues where Kirk can really shine - too much similar grooves within a set of blues do not make it is easy for a soloist to present different moods.

[@geoc3956]

Is that Sidetracked? Tinsley Ellis does a killer version of this ole' Freddie King song. But Kirk's tone and style is superb! Awesome Job.

[@remingtonride]

Yes, FK's Sidetracked

[@jenet6498]

Ozzys be ready for Freddie! Great video, Kirk is one of the best. Cheers from the Micronesia Blues Society, island of Guam.

[@JapbikesRule-rb2wk]

Seeing Kirk Friday night at Lizottes Newcastle. Beautifully shot by the way. Felt like I spent a night at the Workers. Thanks a lot. Yours In The Blues...

Is it me or does the second song sound a bit like “I feel good’??

[@rawdonwaller]

Farrrrr out Brussels Sprout. This is in my home country. Never knew Kirk Fletcher had toured. Love the signs on the walls. And the people dancing. Is this really at a workies'? And "Port" as in harbour port, or, Port Macquarie?

[@akaroyfilms]

The Semaphore Workers Club, one of the oldest and finest seaside buildings in South Australia, is owned by Communists. They use it for the occasional branch meeting. Twice a week the local blues scene moves in and it goes off. Very few Communists are actually ever seen at the club.
