…great vocals and stage presence. Indeed a quote from Laurence himself really sums up his live performances, “You’ve got to feel the blues, rather than just play it.  The thing about the blues is it can take your mind off anything. Nothing else matters when you are on stage playing.” The night ends with a powerful version of William Harris’ ‘Bullfrog Blues’ which he dedicated to his fellow musician Larry Miller… Continue reading

People who quit the music scene for a while out of frustration at the business and politics.

Stripping back the songs in this way did show the quality of their songwriting and Francis Rossi’s reedy voice always did have a slightly countryish tinge. ‘Break The Rules’, with some harmonica from Andy Bown, showed this perfectly. Rick Parfitt’s all out vocal style was perhaps less naturally suited to the format though I was amused when he delivered ‘Again And Again’ in a somewhat crooning style which reminded me, if n… Continue reading
