What a great year for Seasick Steve. Kicked off by Jools Holland Seasick and his merry men (The Missisipi Drum Machine and the Three String Trance Guitar) snowballed to every festival in the UK. Word of mouth dragged kids and adults alike to his foot stomping shows.

The Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, thanks too the thousands of people that turned out in the rain that day. Thanks to those DJ's that championed him Charlie Gillett and Andy Kershaw and Rob Da Bank.
