Review of New Year's Day 2015 Musicians' Party at The Thomas Tripp, Christchurch ...
"In a slight change in style it’s the turn of The Riverside Blues Band and their take on Dylan’s “Highway 61?. Now I’m no Blues fan but this band are in their element and the crowd are loving them. They waste no time in plugging “Stan’s Blues Jam” before they hit us with another song. Their performance is larger than life, while the punters are still smiling."
