Memphis IBC 2011 - George Schroeter & Marc Breitfelder - the winners

The third act, and the winners, in the series from the finals of the solo / duo category of the 2011 Memphis International Blues Challenge were George Schroeter & Marc Breitfelder from the Baltic Blues in Germany.

George Schroeter -- piano / vocals
Marc Breitfelder -- harmonica

For the story, I met Marc in 1993 at the Trossingen Internation Harmonica championships.
We were both participating, and got on quite well in the lead up to the contest.
I ended up playing guitar for him, and he came in second...damn, i was so proud of myself.

The IBC guide book paragraph says :
«...a piano player who can express himself in such a variety of ways and with such skill that the audience is always swept away. Marcs harp performance is just unbelievable ; he redifines the chromatic scale with his spécial overblowing technique and so explores new dimensions in the field of blues harp playing. »

These guys are the first Europeans to win the IBC

It was George Schroeter & Marc Breitfelder, that's what I'm looking for too. Playing something about a woman if that helps :-) Would love to hear it too, it's from the same awards.

Found it! Marc Breitfelder just posted it on Facebook and it's on their website, called "Talk to me". YouTube won't let me post a link here. It's not the version from the IBC.

Thanks for letting me know, have checked their website before and no sign. I have them on my Facebook so will try sending them a message to ask, will post back here if I find anything. Thanks.

Where's the slower blues that we heard on Radio 2????? It was amazing and that's how I ended up here.
