Guitarist Buddy Whittington talks about his 15 Yrs with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers.

[@forevermemoriesfilms5300]

Buddy is a true blues legend... he deserves so much more recognition than he gets. I met him here in the UK. He’s such an nice guy. Great vocals & guitar skills, I hope he will come across to us again soon

[@teresagarcia7604]

Las giras de España con Santiago Campillo suelen ser fantásticas

[@robertbrown51]

My wife and I met Buddy when he came to Australia with John Mayall, very nice man, and a great guitar player.

[@BarsideJiveLive]

Thanks Robert! Yes he’s Awesome! Glad to hear from friends in Australia.

Thank you

[@maxwellfan55]

I love the way Buddy plays guitar. He's up there with all the greats, yet like Green, he's so humble. It was nice meeting you in England, Buddy.

[@Peter-sk5vg]

I saw Bobby with Mayall years ago and he blew my mind. Beyond outstanding...really enjoyed this but i felt Bobby's pain at having to sit in front of that chilli without being able to dive in and eat it Bless him

[@REM1956]

I had the pleasure of hearing and meeting Buddy when the Bluesbreakers played in St. Louis with Eric Bibb and Robben Ford years ago. Great show. Buddy is one the the most talented and nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. He was extremely generous talking with my friend and me after the show.

[@BarsideJiveLive]

He’s just that kinda guy. And humble as they come.

[@Dougal78]

Being in the UK, I've only managed to meet and see Buddy once, but what an absolute super star he is. I can't believe some times how people with such an amount of talent aren't more well know. Pure class! Thanks for putting this video up.

Can't believe that I live in Keller, TX (next town over from Grapevine) and we visited Grapevine for their awesome Holiday deckout last weekend and I missed Buddy, who had just been at Tolberts last Tuesday. Now I have a mission to see Buddy live locally!

[@BarsideJiveLive]

Definitely worth your time!!! Thanks for watching

[@williamjamesdeering-webb1656]

Very interesting interview, great to learn some of Buddy's history. I was lucky to see him play with John Mayall a couple of times here in England. Do not worry Buddy you will never need that second job ! ps, love the joke about the chilli.

Thanks DC!! Great interview! I first saw Buddy in about 1995 when he was playing at the old Trail Dust Steak House in Arlington. I was really impressed with his ability and still am. I try to see him when he's playing in town. Tolbert's is great, I've seen Buddy and Mouse and the boys play there multiple times. Amazing talent!!!

[@BarsideJiveLive]

He’s a great guy and glad to call him my friend. He got John Mayall to sign a program for me while he was in Europe last trip. :-)

[@andrewcooper2617]

I saw him onstage at Hammersmith Odeon. No running around like a maniac shredding like its the only way to play, simply standing there and playing the best way to play. Great sound. He came back on later to jam with the headliner Gary Moore. It was a great evening.

[@Volker_GR]

No doubt in a line and quality with all the great guitarists who played with John Mayall. One of the finest American performers of British Blues, along with Walter Trout.

[@StewFairweather]

Buddy and his band were the opening act for John Mayall last night when I saw them live. Buddy has a serious set of pipes and can really play man. Very cool that he's touring with Mayall again. I noticed when Buddy was playing, John pulled up a chair at the side of the stage to listen to the show.

[@BarsideJiveLive]

Very cool! What venue bro?

[@maxwellfan55]

Barside Jive. The venue was Truro, Cornwall England. Needless to say he went down well, everyone loved him and his band. I met him briefly afterwards, we talked 5 string fretless banjo and finger picks, and the name of Peter Green came up. Buddy was a gentleman, courteous and humble like he was in your interview.

[@BarsideJiveLive]

Thanks so much for the feedback. Yes, Buddy is the coolest! Just like you describe. Thanks again my friend.

[@clive3100]

I was able to see Buddy Whittington playing with John Mayall when they did a show/toured with the Peter Green Splinter Group at The Royal Albert Hall in the UK many years ago. Thought Buddy's playing was exceptional and to my ears the standout track, (what with the acoustics at the RAH) was "Mists OF Time".

[@BarsideJiveLive]

Oh man! What a treat that must have been!!!

Not one mention of Gary Moore?He blew all of those guys away that where mentioined here and put Buddy on the map.Without Gary no one would know who Buddy is.

[@MontyCantsin5]

Buddy Whittington being John Mayall's guitarist is what contributed to him being more well known, not Gary Moore.

[@pheskesen]

Just seen this. Complete rubbish. The only person Gary Moore ever promoted was himself, though he was undoubtedly talented. Buddy was a name in Texas before he met John Mayall but it was 15 his years with the Bluesbreakers which gave him international fame. He did once support Gary Moore on tour - when Moore even stipulated how many people were allowed to play in Buddy's band.

[@patboudotlamot]

vraiment sympa ce buddy

[@colink4823]

Totally underrated guy. Superb player. Imo he's way better than Eric C

[@dancoronado4254]

It's a Texas sin to let a Tolbert's "Bowl of Red" to git cold. Been eatin it since the early 80's when they would give you a cold glass of Lone Star beer while you stood in line waiting in the HOT Dallas sun. My logo neon sign that i designed for them still in the front window. Life has taken me far and wide for 40 years, but planning on gitten my bowl this summer.

[@BarsideJiveLive]

The chili there is AMAZING!

[@garyduncan7129]

So, the place has good chili and it's good advertising. But does the interviewer have to in our face with it while interviewing a musician of this caliber? Buddy didn't seem to mind. I guess pushing the chili was part of the deal. Yikes.

[@BarsideJiveLive]

I can assure Buddy's fans that when we do another interview, and we have been talking about another...he WILL be shown eating on camera!

[@AnnePeters-ub4uh]

I’m sorry but without John Mayall ,Buddy would stayed unknown....it was a big luck for Buddy to meet the father of the British Blues...Personnaly i preferred Coco Montoya...

[@graniterhythm53]

I can only think of 2 Mayall lead guitarists who made it really big on their own & 1 who made it in an already established group - it's a rare thing to go it alone, Mayall realised that thru the years!
