Based on the two gigs I went to there were a lot more young folks in the audience than a typical blues rock gig ( this maybe partly as a result of the type of venue). Last time I went with my brother in law who isn't a muso or music obsessive and wouldn't know who Aynsley Lister was if he slapped him in the face but does know who JB is and enjoyed himself ( and, againm, playing a much more varied and balanced set than the folks on here who don't know his stuff well would seem to believe).
JB has become a fairly commercially succesful/ mainstream artist and, I think typically, as a main stream artist gets criticised for being too mainstream and not ' the real thing.' I'm sure he cries into his big pile of money about this at night...
