In Memory:

Loyal Blues Jam Band Harp Player

Neal Longhurst

in memory

Neal was one of the top harp players in the Quinte region and will be missed. After surviving a earlier battle with cancer Neal was one of the first harp players to join in on our regular jams. His harp added that haunting howl and boogie sound to the Loyal Blues Jam Band at the first two End of Winter Blues and the 2005 Ear Candy festival.
