Seasick Steve

I'm a big fan of Seasick Steve, and this interview is nicely put together for the Take Aways section of French site Blogotheque - I know I'll be working my way through a few more of the Take Aways films as soon as I find time, but the Seasick Steve spot has a very natural feel about it, a behind the scenes glimpse of the real artist. I love the way he strolls around playing to an almost oblivious mix of tourists and rat-racers, then sits down in the middle of a bunch of skaters who duly stop and watch, tapping along to his blues tracks. I hope I'm like Steve when I'm older. Minus the dungerees, maybe.
