Powerhouse Trio

The wide variety of musicians playing on the Inner Harbour Causeway make for interesting listening anytime but sometimes, if you're lucky, you will get to see and hear several of the performers jamming in impromptu groups such as pictured above. On the left is Victoria's famous One Man Band, Dave Harris. Center is Ian Bennetts, one half of the Bennetts Brothers Blues Band, the other half of which is sibling Jonathan Bennetts, on the right. These musicians have probably got a hundred fifty years of professional musical experience between them and when they wind it up and pour it out it's a great and unique listening experience.The video below (by Dave Harris) of the group playing a Calypso medley will give you some idea of this performance.

I just love the live music on the Causeway. Is the bagpiper still there? Every time I hear Scotland the Brave on bagpipes I think of Victoria.

Thanks, as always, Benjamin! You are a tireless promoter of our gang and we really appreciate it! It has been fun teaming up with the Bennetts Brothers, who have quite a storied past, as original skiffle artists in England and France in the 50s.
