Willem picked up his uncle’s beat up guitar a number of years ago and promptly gave up. Everything hurt and nothing sounded any good. A year later Willem thought he’d try again for a giggle – it seemed like a good idea at the time. Nothing really clicked until he saw a video of this blues cat named Joe Bonamassa play the guitar like he’d never seen or heard before. The skill and expression with which he played completely captivated and inspired him – he couldn’t even blink. At that moment he decided without a shred of doubt that music was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Willem Sherlock Roorda is a real talent and loves the Blues (and jazz - Willem launched his first jazz album at Hotel Blue in November)! Come along this Sunday Arvo, 4:30-6:30pm, for some free live jazz & blues. The bar & kitchen will be open – welcome to the 'Blues Mountains' and the Mountains' own 'house of jazz', Hotel Blue. Stick around however as Andrea Valeri & Van Larkins will be performing 'Live in the Attic' at 6:30pm.
