semi review, only saw a few songs from each
decided last minute to go check out a couple of bands playing local. First up, Lazy Dog at the Wheatsheaf in Coppull. Not a busy night as they're testing the water for Saturdays but an appreciative crowd nontheless. Caught the first 5 numbers of the second set, a cracking sound folks and very well balanced. To be constructive, I must admit they seemed to be going through the motions a little with no banter with the audience at all but the playing was excellent. A good mix of old and recent songs to cater for all tastes. I'm sure with a full house these guys will open up a little more and enjoying themselves as we all know it is difficult to motivate oneself with a half empty pub. I'm not having a dig at all, just being constructive I hope.
Then to the Barons Rest in Chorley to check out Sabre. Again, not overly busy but a decent appreciative audience. Very Very tight set with one of the stand in gobbists, it breaks my heart that such a cracking set of musicians can't seem to get a full time singer. They are all a belting set of lads with a good set played very well indeed. Any vocalists looking for a good quality band with plenty of gigs lined up, give them a shout.....you'd be mad not to.
We're not gigging for a few weeks now so I hope to get out to catch a few more of you crazy kids. Anyone who want an honest unbaised review (of sorts), no matter what genre, give me a shout.
Peace out
Mark
