One-armed harmonicist/singer Neal "Big Daddy" Pattman was undoubtedly one of the last superb downhome bluesmen to emerge from rural Georgia (he lost his arm in a farm accident while a child). His country harp style has been compared to Sonny Terry, DeFord Bailey, Sonny Boy Williamson (#1), and others. But he was definitely his own man in many ways. A great and deep blues artist AND a charismatic performer.
"Live in London" chronicles a sold-out show Big Daddy Pattman and his band performed at the legendary 100 Club in London, 1995.
He was at the top of his game that night, backed by British bluesmaster Dave Peabody (guitar), Shrimp City Slim (piano and washboard), and the rhythm section from Big Joe Louis and the Blues Kings. Luckily, we slapped a DAT recorder on the mixing board and here we are...you are there!
A must-have for any blues harmonica fan.

Rough, raw, honest and wonderful. If you like the sample clips, go for the CD – it’s full of that great, lively harp, with Big Daddy front and centre, giving everyone, including the band, a down home good time. Makes you wish you were there!
