Have recently discoverd the talents of Aynsley Lister - I had been missing one of the greatest talents on the blues rock scene. Last night he wowed the audience in Crawley with some brilliant guitar playing and fine vocals, in an intimate atmosphere.
Playing songs from his new 'Equilibrium' CD and old classics like Purple Rain (stunning rendition) he showed what an amzing talent he is - go see him, now! [less]
Live Review of
Tina C
by DG from Glasgow
Having only seen Tina C before on the rather rubbish Sky1 'Eurotrash' clone 'Yanky Panky' I wasn't sure how good this would be. Plus a half price ticket offer arrived in my Inbox a day or so before. Uh-oh tickets not selling I thought.

Having only seen Tina C before on the rather rubbish Sky1 'Eurotrash' clone 'Yanky Panky' I wasn't sure how good this would be. Plus a half price ticket offer arrived in my Inbox a day or so before. Uh-oh tickets not selling I thought.
The space itself, 'The Venue' used to be the church crypt and as such was a bit of a tight squeeze for Tina & one of her taller line-dancers once up on the rather high stage!
As for my fears of a low turn out, yes there were a few empty seats dotted about, but it wasn't noticably empty.
This was a 'spoof US political rally' show with Tina campaigning for the Presidency, urging us in her theme song to 'Tick My Box' along with a cute audience action. Although obviously written recently it was nice to have a very topical joke thrown in about Obama's illegal alien aunt that only just surfaced in the press. The whole show flew by with a mix of satire, country and a nice Q&A session to enhance the 'rally' feel. The jokes, puns and innuendo came thick and fast, culminating in red, white and blue balloons flying everywhere just like a real rally. Afterwards Tina was happy to pose for photos & sign CDs, along with a first for her, signing my balloon! ;o) [less]

Event Venue: Bitter End - Romford
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.
Cheers

I've seen Alabama 3 at two festivals both in Scotland, They're great, you just can't stand still! I even bought the cd La Peste and gave it to a mate for his birthday (the first time I'd ever done anything so presumptious!) it was an immedite hit with him too. If you never do anything else go and see Alabama 3! [less]
