Average white band
I've wanted to see this band for years and years but always missed out for some reason like working away from home or not realising they were in town. They didn't disappoint at the Bristol Colston hall on Sunday 12th November. I wasn't expecting anything less than brilliant but these well seasoned musicians were truly astonishing. Just two original members these days, Alan Gorrie and Onnie McIntyre but the rest of the band were more than up to the job. Very jazzy, very tight, very sophisticated. Hamish Stewart's high vocals were replaced by a black guy from New York - Brent Carter, and his voice blended very well indeed with Alan Gorrie's lower tones reproducing the old songs very close to the original. As for the two sax players, very entertaining indeed. They blew the crap out of their saxophones easily matching Mollie Duncan and Roger Ball from the old days. It must be hard for any drummer to step into the shoes of Steve Ferrone and Robbie McIntosh but it all came out great.
