Kosta D And The Fortune Tellers+The Book Of Revelations+The Fabulous Micky C and (the Mighty) Heartache+The 53
Kosta D And The Fortune Tellers-Psychedelic folk with a hazy u.s west coast feel, country joe and the fish maybe but lyrically not, more of a ray davis thing going on, nice The Book Of Revelations – slinky inter-weaving riffology that is a bit proggy , with a blue eyed skank . Elements of 1980s Yes meets The Police via Supertramp– something perhaps of a Peter Gabriel/Genesis influence too- and some interesting social commentary based lyrics. Groovy pop prog, we like it. The Fabulous Micky C and (the Mighty) Heartache-A classy set of protest songs cum lovelorn examinations of the human condition. Hook laden country pop flecked song craft. The 53– Boy/girl duo playing lovely, rancid, garage blues punk. Pop with narco frenzy! Somewhere around the vicinity of The Kills.

Dog Of Two Head+Ed Bennett
Dog of Two Head – Are emerging as one of the top cover bands to Status Quo in the UK. The band, who are from the Midlands and South Wales, pride themselves in being die hard Quo fans and will give you a set from Quo’s heyday in the ’70s. Each song is performed and recreated as close to the original recording as possible. Blistering renditions of some of Francis Rossi’s finest solos. A hard rocking second guitar matching the unique rhythm talent of Rick Parfitt. Heavy bass lines and a solid groove on the drums providing the perfect engine room that Coghlan and Lancaster would be proud of, and all backed up with powerful vocals and a 3 piece harmony. If you want a night of solid boogie rock then look no further. Ed Bennett – you’ve heard of Slowhand well here’s Fast Fingers– Mr B is an incredibly gifted guitar player who rings the neck of his axe in a way that most plank spankers have long neglected to master. In fact he’s a bit more Rory Gallagher or Gary Moore than Clapton but there’s no doubting the immense talent and the emotion he can conjure form them fleet fingers. Playing roots rock n roll and blues with a modern twist care of his superb band.
