Rauma Blues 1994

In 1994 the Rauma Blues organizers got seriously fucked

As Rory Gallagher got ill and couldn't arrive in Rauma, the organizers hired Mandango Jones to replace him. His brochure was filled with merits of cooperating with multiple world famous names but in reality, Mr. Jones was a cheap john whose musical talents would've been best enjoyed by rickety rats, if even them. Luckily Dave Lindholm and The Balls with their fine set saved the organizers from losing their face completely.
