Dutch Tilders - Live at The Commune 1973 (2020)

The late Dutch Tilders was a prominent multi-award winning figure who emerged in the folk/blues boom from the late ‘60s, best known for his singing, guitar work and harmonica playing. Dutch is still one of the greatest blues players.

The series was created by ARCA to raise funds and resources for Support Act’s Roadies Fund to provide financial, health, counselling and well being services for crews.

The Desk Tape Series are released on ARCA’s Black Box Records through MGM Distribution and on all major streaming services.

Thanx to Jim Colbert, Tony Mansur and Pete Howell for the early photos, Nprint for the cover artwork, Pete Howell for an amazing recording, Phil Dracoulis for the mastering, Peanuts Promotions/Publishing for permission to release to all and Dutch Tilders for being awesome.

The tapes are straight off the mixing desk and usually made by a member of the road crew.

But in this case it was by Peter Howell, his long-time double bassist who’d started playing with Tilders six weeks before this recording.
