After a lengthy wait and with much anticipation, The Alcucinors
Acoustic Duo take to the stage in Fatcats. Their soft and easy tone
filled the room and they were very much a crowd pleaser with their
mellow and breezy songs plus a cheeky Beatles cover. The shared vocals
of the two boys, Dave Hannah and Jake Kimberley work well together to
create their unique sound; which mixed with the two guitars creates
harmonious and broad music.
Dirty Rotten Souls were up next and what can I say? Dirty by name and
dirty by nature; their gritty sound and deep bass guitar riffs really
scream out to the audience. The drums were slightly overpowering at
times and the vocals got slightly lost along the way but it was a tight
performance and I liked how their set was continuous and the songs were
linked together through bass riffs; it really kept the audience
listening.
The Ruby Dukes have a really good connection with each other, which is
clear from their stage presence and musicianship. With a strong intro
and intricate guitar riffs the set had a good pace and the layers of the
music really shone through.
The Rivalry were the headline act of the night and they definitely gave
the most lively performance of the evening. They all have a really good
sense of musicianship and their catchy and repetitive choruses really
got the audience going, it was obvious that both the band and the
audience were there to have a great time. Strong and hard vocals came
from Rob Hawthorne and the set was definitely well rehearsed as the band
had a very much polished sound.
