Aynsley Lister

[Simon D]

Just got back from seeing Aynsley Lister play a cracking set at a small venue in Swansea.

If anyone's a fan of hard rocking blues, I'd recommened getting along to see him if he comes anywhere near you - he's a great singer, fantastic fluid guitar player with a great tone, backed up by a very talented band.

Definitely worth checking out if you like Davy Knowles stuff!

I saw him perform and teach in Bath last year and he was great.  He was practicing in the classroom while everyone was on their lunch break - for a full hour.   Interesting how obsessively committed these natural talents are....

I saw him last year supporting Buddy Whittington.  I thought he was good, but SERIOUSLY up himself  :roll:

Could have just been having a bad day though!  :lol:

Davy Knowles, on the other hand, constantly comes across a super nice guy  :D

I thought he was good, but SERIOUSLY up himself  :roll:

I have also heard this about him - maybe he has had more than one bad day. I hope they were.

Matt Schofiled on the other hand is a very nice guy indeed. I've chatted to him a few tiems and he has been equally gracious, polite and not in the least superior when someone tells him he is great at playing guitar.

He didn't come across that way onstage, or when I had a quick word with him after the gig, but you've got to take people as you find them haven't you?

I missed Matt Schofield at the same venue on his last UK tour and I still regret it - I've met a few people who were there and no-one has a bad word to say about the gig or him. Definitely won't be missing him if he come back there (or anywhere nearby for that matter!)

I met Aynsley Lister at the same IGF event Matt Schofield was playing at and my impression was that he was a bit shy, which is often mistaken for aloofness.  He was very polite but obviously very focused on what he was doing whether playing or teaching.  So, I have a positive impression of him apart from the suspicion I have that he was wearing guyliner. That's just wrong, wrong, wrong.....

[Simon D]

Hahaha, there was no hint of guyliner when I saw him - he must have been going through a goth/Richie Manic stage!  :lol:

Well spotted - now I come to think of it he did have "4 real" carved into his forearm and disappeared off to live in Goa shortly after the tutorial.
