Some Comments - John Hammond - Copping Community Hall - 4 November 2011

"thanks again for the bookings and the hospitality! Had a great time and hope we can work together again. A real pleasure" - Nick Charles.

"great choice of artist once again, thanks Bob".

"such quality musos in our little part of the world!!".

"John Hammond transformed himself before our eyes and ears. What a master! So totally committed to his craft and his sound. It was inspiring! I trust people now realise how lucky we have been to witness it and to have been afforded that chance by you. Let the shows go on, now there's an informed following".

"another amazing experience. John Hammond was great, the man, the music, the place, one of those experiences that lingers for some time. Looking forward to more music from anotherbbproduction".

"a great night and amazing show, looking forward to the next one".

"we had a wonderful evening at Copping, 2 wonderful artists, a great venue & good company".

"you've done it again, another great concert. To think that one of the top 10 blues artists in the world performed at the Copping Hall is amazing! Thanks again, awaiting the next concert".

"what another wonderful evening. Thanks so much Bob for organising such special events".

"Copping was all time, Nick was good and John was incredible, he really doesn't leave anything behind. He gave us a great show, hearing a little of his musical background was fascinating - he seemed to be able to connect us all especially with his talent".

"I totally enjoyed the whole thing, everything was perfect. Congratulations on using your obvious gift in regards to organising and promoting musical events".

"as usual the venue, concert, ambience and performance were great. As long as the acts keep coming we'll keep going".

"again another sold out concert, good effort! .. but with an act like John Hammond I'm not surprised. Talked to a few punters who'd come from north and northwest Tas especially for the Copping ambience. Like me they wouldn't miss it now we know the quality of the acts you choose!"

"yeah it was great, great energy and stories from the man!"

"as usual you gave us something very special which is still with me. I feel truly privileged and thank you. John Hammond was a true craftsman - chat/history/skill/sublime music - such a repertoire of skills - have not seen such before! The Hall setting and atmosphere as usual was superb and unparalleled by anything else in our state, giving us fortunate enough to attend a very privileged experience. The bonne homie was brilliant as always and I think your artists can instantly feel it and appreciate it."

"the John Hammond concert was excellent, in my opinion the best of your Copping concerts so far. This was real blues music and I did not want the concert to end. The acoustics were tops and the small hall gives a close feel to the performer. Anyone who loves blues music, genuine blues music and did not bother to see and hear John Hammond really missed out".

"another terrific concert - thanks so much for organising it! It's quite a privilege to be 'up close and personal' with artists like John Hammond. Nick Charles was terrific too - a perfect start to the evening. I really can't think of any aspects that need improvement".

"what a great night - totally enjoyed ourselves!!!"

"the venue, organisation, artists and crowd were superb. Please don't change anything. Loved the table set up and the fact that you could take your own grog and food. We also loved the relaxed style, the sound was excellent and the closeness to the artists couldn't have been better".
