The Warrnambool Rhythm and Blues Club is holding another event after the success of its first acoustic blues concert last month. This Saturday night the club is showcasing local band the Rugcutters at Proudfoots Boathouse. The Warrnambool band - vocalist Neil Anderson, guitarist Nucky Stewart, drummer Tim Bowen, bass player Larry Lawson and harpist Andrew Flock - will make its acoustic debut tomorrow night. Anderson has finally returned to Warrnambool after a long absence. He has been working as a session singer in Melbourne and interstate. He lived in Warrnambool for five years during the early 1980s, playing with musicians now with in bands such as Blue Heat and the Southern Sons. He joined a group called The Breed, which secured a contract with Mushroom in 1994 and recorded a single title "Every little tear". The group's relationship with its manager and record company later dissolved, as did their contract, Anderson said. Since returning to Warrnambool, Anderson has concentrated on rhythm and blues to soothe the disappointment of his all-too-brief brush with fame. The Rugcutters song list encompasses traditional R & B, some rock-tinged blues, and old style blues.
