A SET OF MY IMAGES AND A FEW WORDS FROM ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GIGS OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS A GOOD WAY FOR ME TO GO BACK OVER FOLDERS OF SHOTS FROM PAST SHOWS/SETS AND LOOK AGAIN AT THE IMAGES, AND A REAL BONUS IS SOMETIMES FINDING A COUPLE OF OVERLOOKED GEMS.
THIS SECTION WILL CHANGE SO WATCH THIS SPACE.

THE VERY BEST WILL BE MOVED TO MY OTHER GALLERIES WHEN MY "GIG FROM THE VAULTS" CHANGES



CURRENT GIG

CHERRY LEE MEWIS - CAMBRIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL 2010

A tremendous set by an artist who always delivers, covering blues, country and Americana Cherry and her band sure know how to entertain.

Here is what I had to say in my review


Having a name that could be the ultimate Jerry Lee Lewis tribute act, Cherry is in fact a very classy blues singer from Wales with a powerful voice and engaging stage presence.
We are at the moment privileged in this country to have a wealth of strong female blues artists including Joanne Shaw Taylor and the lady who wowed the main stage at this years festival Chantel McGregor, Cherry is another name for the list.
To me she adds a touch of country and Jazz to her style of the blues and it really works, she also has a red hot band playing with her and the overall sound was superb.
She opened with the fun, foot tapping 'Kissing in the Dark' from the excellent Southbound Train album, most of the set would be taken from this release and other gems included the almost rock-a-billy sounding 'Western Star', the catchy 'Midnight in Memphis' and another foot tapper in 'Southbound Train' itself.
A superb performance and so looking forward to seeing her perform in my home town of Leamington Spa where she is on the bill (along with Chantel McGregor) for what promises to be a fantastic line up for The Blues Assembly 2 show at the Leamington Assembly in November.
