Texas Flood 1991 – 2015

Texas Flood was formed in 1990 by Neale Farnell and Davo Bass. Their previous band, ‘Drowning on Dry Land’ played an eclectic mix of: Muddy Waters, Blind Boy Fuller, ZZ Top, Rory Gallagher, T-Birds, Johnny Winter etc and held residencies at The Red House, Corner Hotel, Sandown park hotel and many others. For Texas Flood several line ups over the next couple of years included keyboards and a vocalist but eventually a 3-piece combination of Guitar, Bass and Drums was settled upon and the band continued in that format.

Vale Neale Farnell

Neale Farnell died October 2015. He was a friend, an exceptional musician, arranger, band leader, and guitar player who knew the blues as well as anyone and certainly was the best blues guitarist I ever knew. This live jam I captured on video-tape is treasured memory of just one of many wonderful times shared. Neale and the assembled band were the act for the 50th anniversary of the famed Murrah Hall, south of Bermagui.
