I had been looking forward to this gig, as a previous one scheduled in March had to be cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. And boy was it worth the wait...
What an incredible and talented bunch of guys fronted by a very powerful frontman. They were well rehearsed and you could tell by the smiles that they genuinely enjoy what they do. Judging by the crowd reaction so did they! The set list included "Natural Thing", "Mother Mary", "Self Made Man", "Venus", "Pushed To The Limit", etc. as well as "Try Me" which had the vocals of Graham Knight making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. There were also the crowd pleasers like "Rock Bottom" (of which the guitar work of Mark Elder was just awsome), "Doctor Doctor" and "Shoot Shoot. Of the rest of the band, Graham Iles (keyboards and rhythm guitar) and Rob Day-Smith (bass) provided excellent backing, while Barry Gwilliam is probably one of the best drummers on the circuit. The comment of the night was from a guy stood in front of me who said, "I was expecting a dodgy UFO cover band, but that was pure excellence". I for one couldnt agree more.... All in all, a great night and I am waiting for the next gig excitedly.
