5th Element - Fox n Goose , Southport

A rockin` good night


Finally managed to catch 5th Element live , last night at the Fox n Goose .

I spend most of my time ferrying our lads around , so dont get to see too many covers bands .

I wasnt sure what to expect , especially with only a small crowd in early on in the evening . These guys obviousely know the score , though , and by the time they took to the stage at around 10.45 , the place was filling up nicely .

Straight away they had the place bouncing with their Cult , Ac/dc , and ZZtop covers . The band has real energy , and enthusiasm and soon got the crowd joining in and making loads of noise . It was great to see vocalist Ann belting out each song with great energy - and really giving it everything . I like the fact that theyre a five peice . You cant beat the fuller two guitar sound ,and love to see a frontman/woman "owning" the stage without the restrictions of other duties ...

Things really took off in the 2nd half , and the more up to date stuff such as Nirvana , Blink 182 and Muse seemed to go down particulaly well , as did the antics of wandering guitarist , Neil .

The band finished with a well deserved encore of Rebel Yell to round off a fantastic show ... All in all a great night out - If you havent seen them yet , I can honestly reccommend them ..

This is my local and I can vouch for the fact that it doesn't start filling up till at least 11 no matter who's on and I've seen loads there. Ann is top at getting crowd going and once they're into their groove the place rocks. Not the venue it was 10 years ago but still easily one of the best around. I wish I hadn't been out playing as I'd been at the bar cheering.

PS: Thanks also for your comments about 'a frontman/woman "owning" the stage without the restrictions of other duties ...' that was really kind of you :-) I do sometimes feel like I should be playing something, I know there are mixed views on NWB about singers twiddling their thumbs, but I like to think I work hard despite being sans-axe! :-) Anyway, thanks again for a great review, mate, we shall have to return the favour sometime soon! :-) Ann x
