The Cowboy Outfit at The Little 'B' last night.
Well, me and IainRKid had to endure most of United v Birmingham last night waiting for the band to even set up. It was nearly disastrous, because 2 pints in, they ran out of 'Old Speckled Hen', but luckily found a barrel of 'Black Sheep' just in time for Birmingham's equalizer, so a good result all round!
This is a new venue for live music - Steve the LL has only been putting bands on for a short while, but it's an easy load in from the car park up a ramp, through double doors and onto a spacious stage area. Not sure about the power situation 'cos i wasn't actually playing.
So at about 10.15, The Cowboy Outfit swung into rockabilly action.
The band are:
Frank on acoustic guitar, harmonica and vox
Colin on drums
Horace on double bass
and
Paul on lead guitar
They played right through 'till 11.30 (which was when the bar shut) and the set was a good old mix of stuff from Johnny Cash to Buddy Holly to Carpenters - so something for every one.
Good crowd who sang and danced along with the music, and I think it says it all when at the end of the set, Steve booked them again for this Sunday night!
Video to follow when I can work out how to upload the feccker, and I guarantee it'll be an eye opener for yer.
On a personal note - thoroughly enjoyed it (as did my bro), great to meet you guys and would recommend this band to anyone.
