Big brother Soul
Sixties Soul Revivalists
We were a bit surprised, but very happy to be asked by the organizers of the Stokes Bay Festival to open for The Zutons. Now we are very aware that the groove of soul music can appeal to many different crowds, but even we thought this might be pushing it…
The event took place in a huge big top, always an impressive sight and very handy seeing as it was pouring down on and off all day.
Our sound-check went without a hitch, always a good sign. A few hours later our playing time came around, we were introduced, and I counted in the first number, we were away! The audience cheered and clapped in all the right places, we were going down well. 40 minutes later we finished our support slot. A lot of good comments filtered back to the band on the night and the organizers were pleased. This was only our 8th performance since we reformed, and it was good to see us back on a big stage. Our show thrives in this environment and the singers always rise to the challenge, I was proud of us all.
I stuck around long enough to hear ‘Valerie’ then drove home.
Thanks to all the organizers, PA and stage crew.
Big thanks to the nice lady that organized our food and drink.
