July - Sept 2010 TBA
Oct 10, 2010 . CLAUDE BOURBON from France - now living in London - Oh my gosh! Claude is an AMAZING! jaw-dropping guitarist & also an entertaining singer-songwriter -- He may not have much name recognition around here - but trust me - he is not to be missed. To say he wowed us last time he stopped by for a STHC, is an understatement. Plus he, his wife & son are delightful people.
