wow! first time seen this guy after catching him on one of Jools Holland's Later... prog's.
What a set!. The Studio holds maybe 200 tops? So, very intimate, he strolls on, sits down, starts playing. The foot is going, not banging out the rhythm, but swaying, as if every note hurts and its a good set. Yeah, he doesn't talk a lot, as he (reluctantly) admits but that leaves more time for good playing and singing.
Its a good mix of very laid back blues, sometimes a bit country orientated (But not too much otherwise I wouldn't be there) The only disappointment is that, although he is an absolutely ace slide guitarist, he doesn't play any.
Still on AG's scale of gigs, this 4.5 /5.

Have you ever walked into a bar to see a mate of a mates band and then been embarrassed by how bad they were?
Well I was. And then even more embarrassed as they were totally blown away by one of the other bands on the night, who made my trip to the Bitter End more than worthwhile.
Shotgun Heart Club came onto the stage unknown to me and then brought the bar alive unlike any other unsigned band I have ever seen. A quite naturally brilliant rock and roll yet bluesy sound, accompanied by musicianship that showed people really can impress without one, ruining the song and two, playing one hundred notes a minute.
I don't like to compare bands to others, but think of The Doors, mixed with Jonny Cash, The White Stripes, The Black Keys and I could even throw Chuck Berry into the mix. That might sound like rock and roll/Americana madness and it was, in a totally blissful way.
So if you are walking by a bar in Essex or London and see Shotgun Heart Club are about to play, stop what you are doing and enter, they are one of the true hidden talents out there.

Paul is the most soulfull singer I have ever seen, his voice is amazing, and he is a brilliant songwriter.
Paul's live concerts are the best I have ever been to, and I do like to go to concerts. Paul is well worth seeing and I will be at all his gigs for as long as I can. [less]
Recommendation for
Seasick Steve
by Micky Gee
If you like Seasick Steve. Check out Tony Joe White! First listened to him in the late 60's. Good old swamp music!!!
