ROB RUSSELL DAVIES – KING OF THE KEYBOARD

The imperious keyboard playing and genuine personality of Rob Russell Davies, guarantees an evening of high quality entertainment whenever Rob hits town. To call his keyboard skills as impressive, would be an understatement of enormous magnitude, as the range on his play-list is a catalogue of classics of all genre and for all tastes. Including Paul Simon and Elvis to his interpretation of Grease, The Blues Brothers along with Duelling Pianos, Telstar and his incredible movie compilation and its without doubt, that “Clubland” will never die while performers such as Rob Russell Davies are around. A five star performer!

RORY HOLL AND THE MEN

The first impression you receive of Rory Holl and The Men is one of three guys who have fun and enjoy performing in proper “live” music venues. However it would be wrong to categorise them as nothing more than this, as when these guys start to play, the audience is taken aback by the quality of their performances. The three-piece band based in Leeds, feature Rory as lead singer, ably supported on guitar and backing vocals by Q and drummer CK Thunder. Their play-list includes The Beatles, Pink Floyd and AC/DC to name but a few, each given the RH&TM's individual feel and style. This is a band who enjoy the gigs themselves, but probably not as much as the audience who watch them. A band not to be missed.

THE DAN HUDSON BLUES BAND - PLAYIN' THE BLUES

Standing out from the plethora of brilliant young “Blues” artists and bands is the multi-talented Dan Hudson and his York-based band. There is a tangible feel of expectancy surrounding him, which radiates a “When” not “If” Dan receives national stature.

The release of their album “Playin’ The Blues“ has increased their rapid rise to prominence amongst the “Blues” community as it showcases the musical tightness and talent throughout the nine-track album. Each member of the band (Dan, lead guitar and vocals, Paul Milek, drums, Jon Getty, rhythm guitar and Chris Backhouse on sax) is an integral part within the parameters of each track.

A simple start with Goin Down Slow, which carefully introduces the rest of the band in a fine bluesy/jazzie ballad. Quicker tempo tracks such as Young Fashioned Ways and Can’t Be Satisfied allow Dan to show his Blues roots and guitarmanship. Classic tracks such as Hoochie Coochie Man and Crossroads are given classic renditions, before Dan shows vocal versatility in showing his Blues emotion while almost talking through Goin’ Away Baby to the foot-tapping Further Up On The Road. The albums final track, Shotgun Blues brings an end to a Blues album which the Blues faithful will thoroughly enjoy.

With a maturity far beyond his years and experience, lead singer Dan Hudson and his Blues Band are about to explode onto the “Blues” music scene during late 2010 and for many years to come.
