Man that is some kick ass guitar playing. I should have visited here more often. Exceptional music I have heard so far. Vocals are top notch.

If you wanna find out how the perfect bluesy pop song should sound...don't look any further : This is IT.... This song is way up there with the soulful R&B stuff Bonnie Raitt in her finest moments recorded.A fabulous backing band and crystal clear production...Inducted into RampeRampe's Tiny Hall Of Fame :Louise Hughes !

<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Louise Hughes's career as a professional performer began in 1972, covering many facets of live music such as Rock, Cabaret, Motown, Jazz and Blues. She took an opportunity to come to Australia, in the early 70’s & immediately went into a Melbourne based showband, learning everything about music on the way. She backed performers such as Little Patti & Lucky Starr.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Louise is probably best known as part of the all girl band The Party Girls, which achieved great recognition & success in the 1980’s. The Party Girls supported international acts such as Meat Loaf, The Sweet and Suzi Quatro, as well as Simple Minds and The Eurythmics. They were also a headline act themselves, having a chart topping album, appearing at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, Oz for Africa, & appearing on many T.V. shows such as Hey, Hey it’s Saturday.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #ff0000;"><strong>In the mid 90’s Louise returned to New Zealand & while there toured as lead guitarist with New Zealand's No. 1 funk band, Ardijah, as well as performing for the “Coca Cola Christmas in the Park” concerts, of which she was Musical Director for the late Dalvanius Prime.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #ff0000;"><strong>In recent years, Louise recorded a ten track alternate blues CD with New Zealand musicians Patrick Kuhtze on drums, Stuart Pearce on keyboards, Max Stowers on bass & the backing vocals of Sharon Tuapawa with Louise on vocals, electric, slide & acoustic guitars as well as backing vocals.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #ff0000;"><strong>She then formed a blues/rock line-up called "The Louise Hughes Band". This band featured Louise and her son Bobby-Joe Bonner on lead guitars. They covered Texas Blues plus tracks from her CD. Bobby-Joe now heads his own band "Stars of Addiction".</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #ff0000;"><strong>As a solo artist, Louise's repertoire harnesses and reflects her unique onstage presence and amplifies her ability to communicate with her audience through her music. Above all she has an unbelievable ability to stun her audience with her amazing guitar licks and vocal feel, whether it is in her original material or in covering Texas blues & country styles.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small; color: #ffff00; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Louise is revered by many as being Australia's top female lead guitarist! </span></strong></p>
