Gig review: BLUE OYSTER CULT – Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, 22 February 2019

Posted on February 26, 2019 by andynathan

…He also played some mean harmonica on ‘Take It Back’ while on ‘Midnight Black’ his gruff singing added to the Creedence Clearwater Revival vibe. However a couple of the ballads fared less well in this environment with the title track of last album ‘A Deeper Cut’, with Phil playing acoustic, of almost C**dplay dreariness. Far more satisfying was closer ‘Built-In Forgetter’ with its funky groove and both guitarists at least allowed to stre… Continue reading →

…into a portal for 3 diverse but musically linked bands. Next up is Deep Blue Sea who describe themselves as: “new shoots from old roots”, which might well have been an apt description for the evening as a whole. Their fiery attack is underpinned by Graeme Wheatley ‘s rock solid bass lines, Iago Banet’s piercing solos and the exuberant presence of vocalist Dregas who lights up the room. They sensibly open with the riff-driv… Continue reading →

Posted on November 27, 2018 by andynathan

Aaron Buchanan - STEELHOUSE FESTIVAL DAY 2 - 28 July 2018

…armed with some dry clothes, I headed back to the arena for the next act. I had no idea what to expect from Dan Reed Network, a view shared by a good number of people I spoke to. If I were to say I was pleasantly surprised, it would be a massive understatement; I need to know how this band weren’t on my radar before today! Regular references to funk and disco in various write ups may have been the cause for this, but despite my like of both, it w… Continue reading →

Perhaps of little surprise to find, therefore, that Reed mastered the album for Tiger Moth Productions, as well as filming and mixing the video for the song Clarity. Central to the band’s sound are the sublime soprano, alto and tenor sax, bass clarinet, flute and recorders of Paul Hornsby, Rik Loveridge’s vi… Continue reading →

Album review: DIZZY REED – Rock ‘n Roll Ain’t Easy

Posted on April 8, 2018 by jason

Golden Robot Records [16.02.18] Dizzy Reed is better known as the keyboard player, and second longest serving member, of Guns n’ Roses (after Axl Rose himself, of course) having joined the band in 1990. “Rock ‘n Roll Ain’t Easy” is his newly released debut solo album and it has to be said, it is very good indeed. Reed’s songwriting on “Rock n Roll Ain’t Easy” is something that can hopefully be contributed to any forthcoming studio output from G… Continue reading →

Gig review: DAN REED AND DANNY VAUGHN – Borderline, London, 3 March 2018

Posted on March 9, 2018 by andynathan

Dan Reed and Danny Vaughn have hit on a winning formula with their ‘Snake Oil and Harmony’ shows, this being a third tour since 2015. The premise is simple – just these two talented singers perched on stools with their acoustic guitars, supporting each other on the best of their work, together with stories behind the songs and natural humorous banter (in the best sense of the term). Given this natural chemistry and the fact that their pri… Continue reading →

Gig review – DEEP PURPLE – Hydro, Glasgow, 22 November 2017

Posted on November 25, 2017 by david.wilson

On the 22nd June 1985 I made a very long trip south, on the oldest bus known to man to stand in a flooded field near Stevenage, to witness the return of Deep Purple mark 2 at Knebworth. It was a day to remember for many things, Meat Loaf being bottled off stage, the Scorpions human pyramid and Ritchie Blackmore in a fetching pair of wellies. That was the return but now the guys are playing their Long Farewell tour heralding the end of one of ro… Continue reading →
