This was one of those spur of the moment need for live music things, the other half came home from work and told about me about Tiger Lilly performing on our local high street and the urge of live music and the temptation of all night coffee drinking was a little too strong to resist.

Singer-songwriter Tiger Lilly has been performing up and down the country in support of her brand new album, Memory Lane, taking in a number of Costa’s on the way as part of her continuous support for the Costa Foundation, a charity that’s helped open a school in Ethiopia in the past as well as showcasing her material to a varied and at times unusual gig-going audience.

Tiger accompanied by her acoustic guitar and backing tapes (no room for a full band in a coffee shop!!!) took to the floor with a dazzling set of emotive originals and brilliantly delivered covers, to the delight of the assembled tea sippers and coffee dwellers.

She opened her set with a selection of originals taken from her aforementioned new album and her debut, Reflections, from the wonderful acoustic led, Wait For You complete with it’s gentle cooing vocals and infectious chorus to the light and breezy jazz infused Chocolate Button Kisses, complimented by catchy scat-like vocals and whistle along hooks, showcasing Tiger’s stunning range (and perhaps potentially showcase a new direction).

From there we were delivered carefully chosen covers such as a beautiful rendition of Son Of  A Preacher Man and a powerful, rockier Black Velvet, whilst also treated to further original delights such as Chasing Ghosts and Newsflash.

Throughout Tiger’s performance she playfully interacted with the audience and they responded in kind creating a wonderful atmosphere for a spirited performance, whilst her blend of poppy light rock and big ballads found favour with one and all. Though Costa may not be the perfect venue for Tiger’s talents (I’d love to see her in a small club with a full band) she gave her all throughout and few performers can summon up so much passion and emotion in such an odd environment, she possesses a rare vocal talent that manages to simultaneously pull at the heart strings and leave you with a lasting fuzzy feeling inside.

Thank the lord for my roving feet, coffee addiction and need for live music, otherwise I may have missed the soul stirring, mesmeric beauty of Tiger Lilly.

A couple of years back via good old Radio 2 (and my Dad) I was introduced the rather wonderful sounds of singer-songwriter Nell Bryden, her album at the time, What Does It Take, a delightful collection of rootsy blues, soulful Americana and stripped down folk became a firm favourite here at Rhythm & Booze and catching her live at the Academy 3 reaffirmed my faith in a good honest song and an infectious melody.

Since then I’ve had the pleasure in reviewing a couple of singles by Nell, including her brand new effort, the light, poppy Buildings And Treetops (reviewed on this very site) from her forthcoming new album Shake The Trees, so when the opportunity to catch Nell perform live as support to Chris Rea I jumped at the chance.

Last time I caught Nell she was accompanied my a full backing band, but this time out much to my surprise she trod the boards alone. Nell performed a short set taking in a few older tracks including the brilliant title track of the aforementioned What Does It Take along with a handful of newbies.

Throughout her short tenure on the stage, Nell’s warm soulful vocals and crisp electro-acoustic guitar work drew the crowd in, whilst her friendly stage banter and bubbly energy managed to win over a large portion of the Chris Rea disciples. Highlights came thick and fast throughout her delightful stripped down set with the likes of the country soul belter and death row lament Mercy On Me and fellow new track, Sirens both hitting home hard.

Nell’s intoxicating set has really whetted the appetite for the release of her forthcoming album proving whether with a band or solo, in a small club or massive stage such as the NIA, Nell Bryden is one singer-songwriter never fails to captivate and leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

And so on to Chris Rea, well what can I say, the guy can really play guitar, his backing band are all strong competent musicians and he has written a couple of stone cold classics (Road To Hell, etc).

So you’d think that Chris Rea infront of his audience would really lift the roof of the NIA wouldn’t you? well actually no, sure he played a few really contagious numbers, he know’s his way around his guitar and the assembled masses lapped up every lick, solo and drum roll, but I have to say I was left a little cold by the performance.

Chris has no interaction with the audience bar a half mumbled thank you, half his set seemed to meander rather than grab you by the lapels and as for the band, they seemed content to happily move throw the motions. To be honest there seemed to be so little emotion or soul in the entire set and hey when you’ve seen one Chris Rea solo you’ve really seen them all. I guess if you like cold, hard musical proficiency, rather than a hook-laden song, Chris can do wrong, but for this viewer I prefer a bit of heart and soul.

It seems some what apt to reviewing a festival called Rhythm here on the Rhythm & Booze website, obviously there’s the name sharing but not only that  this years festivities featured a number of acts that we’ve featured previously on Rhythm & Booze (whether it was this site, an older version or even the now ancient paper format) including the likes of Imelda May, Hazel O’Connor, Sandi Thom and Missing Andy to name but a few

Rhythm Festival is set in the stunning Mansion House in Old Warden Park, a beautiful location for a small yet wonderfully varied festival, as with most festivals in this day and age Rhythm is something of a family orientated affair complete with a number of performance stages, a fair, stalls, eateries and the essential beer tent. But what sets the festival apart from their many contempories is their obvious love of music, this isn’t one of those festivals that people go to hang out, get drunk and miss the bands, no Rhythm is all about the bands and that’s why they manage to attract some of the biggest names in punk/blues/rock/ska/folk/indie/roots around, can you name another festival this year that featured The Buzzcocks, Nick Lowe and Jack Bruce (of Cream fame) no didn’t think so.

After a long drive from Worcester and dumping the bags at our hotel (yes I know, but I don’t do camping!) we hit the site and headed for the first band we could find, who just happened to be The Metratrons on the introducing stage.

The Metratrons turned out to be a brilliant opener for our weekends festivities, a four-piece female fronted blend of punk, new wave and fuzzy pop who delivered a fun, attitude filled set of infectious three minute belters that helped us all forget our damp feat and wind swept hair with contagious little ditties such as the bubblegum pop of Last To Know. The band’a Stomping rhythms, buzzing guitars, big hooks and hollered vocals went down a treat with the early revellers, setting us up nicely for the rest of the festival.

Next up and very high on my festival’s itinerary the always incredible Hazel O’Connor, with a set lifted from the iconic (now 3o year old) Breaking Glass. I’ve seen Hazel now on a number of occasions in various different formats but her performance at Rhythm with The Subterranens and saxophonist Clare Hirst helping out was perhaps the best I’ve witnessed to date (and I’m a big fan). Hazel and the band delivered a stunning high octane set, taking in the likes of Black Man, Big Brother, the marching Decadent Days and the eternal Will You? with the large assembled crowd hollering away to each and every vocal, with Hazel as ring leader, comandeering the audiences attention with her punchy attitude and deliverance.

8-piece Scottish-Canadian supergroup The Burns Unit (featuring the likes of Emma Pollock, King Creosote, Karine Polwart among their number) followed with a compelling set of multi-faceted indie pop, folk and alternative rock featuring six lead singers, wonderous harmonies, layers of sound and loads of contagious twists drawing you into their maverick , unique yet compelling set.

We spent the rest of the first of the day/evening bouncing around taking in the sights and the sounds of the festival before retiring for an early night (after all that travelling) but we reliably informed that The Buzzcocks brought the house (and the barriers) down with a hits filled set of punky madeness.

Day Two and up for an early start at the main stage with country titans Archie Brown & The Young Bucks.

Archie Brown produced an unexpected early highlight to our second day with a brilliant set of country, blues and rock, ranging from heartfelt crooned laments to a raucous sax assisted set finale. The band had more energy than most bands half their age, whilst Archie, himself was a whirring dervish of a frontman, putting in an energetic and commanding performance that had the assembled masses raptious with appreciation.

Indie upstarts Missing Andy added a new dimension to proceedings with a glorious, punchy set of upbeat indie rock anthems such as Kings For The Weekend, A Call To Arms and the holler along, live classic in the making Made In England. The band’s set had everything you could ask for, it was frantic, had attitude and swagger in abundance, full of  sing-a-long hooks, addictive riffs, and delivered by a group on tip-top form. With performance like this and ready made festival classics it shoudn’t be too long until we see Missing Andy topping the bill.

After the riotous performance of Missing Andy we made a quick dash over to the Le Mesurier Stage to take in some of the greasy cow punk types the Blubbery Hellbellies, a wonderfully ramshackle collective headed by Lurkers main man Arturo Bassick, who wedge their tongues firmly in their cheeks to deliver a fun fuelled set of country punk including such classics as Is It Love Or Food Poisoning and All Wrestling Mama to name just two.

After gorging on some rather delectible pizza and once again wandering the site we paid a quick visit to the secret stage, took in a couple of tracks by Slim Chance, watching half a set of the wonderful bluesy Sandi Thom, which included Sandi blowing a mean harmonica before taking a brief sabbatical back at the hotel to charge the camera and our batteries before the two pronged main event.

Nick Lowe is a living legend, pure and simple, he is one of the finest songwriters of his and anybodies elses generation who has had a massively succesful solo career taking in soul, country, rock and pop, his 40 year musical career has numerous highlights and with the release of brand new album, At My Age, he doesn’t look like slowing down anytime yet. Nick’s set was a stunning display of restrained soulful, folky pop delivered in his aged yet wonderful croon taking in songs from thoughout his career to great applause and appreciation from one of the biggest crowds of the weekend. New songs slipped in effortlessly alongside better known classics, whilst his band laid down an infectious groove throughout and though Nick may not have delivered the most energetic of sets, his understated delivery and incredible songwriting ability shone through, proving that you don’t have to jump about to be a festival highlight. For me just being in the pressence of the mighty Nick Lowe performing live is a highlight in itself.

Saturday (and our festival due to work commitments) finished with the stunning, wonderful highly addictive Imelda May. By now unless you’ve lived on another planet you should have heard Imelda’s terrific blend of blues, soul and rockabilly, she’s lit up the stage across a number of the biggest venues and festivals across the world, whilst seducing he nation with her high profile turn on Later With Jools Holland and if you’re a regular Radio Two listener I’m sure you’ve become very accustomed to Imelda blaring out of your speakers as she’s become something of a main stay for the station in recent times. Both of her albums to date Love Tattoo and Mayhem have become firm favourites here at Rhythm & Booze, with her cool blues, upbeat rockabilly and soulful drawl regularly adorning the R&B hi-fi, but even those regular spins hadn’t prepared me for the Imelda May live experience. Imelda and her band are simply sensational in a live arena, she smoulderings as her her bunch of merry men kick up a shit storm of surf guitars, rock n roll licks and pulsating rhythms. Imelda lifts from both albums, with highlights delivered thick and fast, Johnny Gotta Boom Boom, a sensationally souped up Tainted Love and a glorious Big Bad Handsome Man are just three of a plethora that I could mention. Imelda May was the perfect choice as headliner as she had the audience in the palm of her hand from start to finish, we sang along, danced (well tried to) and lapped up every morsel from the Dublin born goddess with cries of more ringing long into the night.

I’m sure the final day of the festival was every bit as impressive with the likes of Toots & The Maytals, Steve Cropper (with The Animals), The Blockheads and Terry Reid all treading the boards, but like I mentioned earlier we had to head back to Worcester as the day job beckoned,.

I have to say we had an abosolute blast at our first ever (certainly not going to be our last) Rhythm Festival, it didn’t matter that we had a few spots of rain, what we may have lacked in sunshine was more than made up by the quality of music on offer. Rhythm is a fun, friendly festival put on by music lovers for music lovers, roll on next year.

 

Rhythm & Booze Rating 10

The fourth Worcester Music Festival took place over a long weekend in August and once again the streets of my home city came alive with the sounds of music. Over the three day event, anyone and everyone who’s interested in performing, hosting or volunteering came together to help raise some money and awareness for a brilliant local charity, The Maggs centre, whilst also providing a platform for local and further afield bands and artists to showcase their wares.

Last year Rhythm & Booze put together an eclectic day of music at Drummonds, featuring local and out of town musicians, it was something of a rousing success but a little stressful and certainly manic trying to cram in so much whilst working, writing this site and looking after our (then) six month old son. So this year instad of rushing around like a loon I decided I’d rather take the chilled approach and go back to being a mere punter.

Me being me I poured over the guide for over a week deciding wear to spend my time, after all there was so much happening all at once across the city. Being a bit of a sucker for something new I eventually decided on a night of out of town bands and artists but together by one Kevin Jenkins (or SelectaSound if you prefer), the line-up read as something a little different from the typical one genre nights with an eclectic mix of soul, folk, hip-hop and orchestrl indie on offer.

The night opened with Christi Warner (accompanied on guitar and backing vocals by Kevin Jenkins) a singer-songwriter who blends warm soulful vocals with spoken word poetry and one of the widest smiles I’ve seen in what seems like forever. The combination of Christi’s stunning heartfelt vocals and Kevin’s acoustic guitar worked wonderfully well as they weaved a seductive spell with such numbers as Mother Africa, the infectious Radio Will Die and the social commentary of Golden Coin. As opening performances go Christi’s faultless set of heart felt soul was pretty damn faultless.

One Sixth Of Tommy followed and I have to admit I was more than a little intrigued to hear what the three-girls, one boy line-up had to offer having just recently performing at Glastonbury. The young Midlands based quartet were something of a revelation with a stunning set of acoustic indie pop and stripped down folk, the female trio traded gorgeous vocal harmonies whilst the token male member held down a delicate beat. Songs such as Butterflies and the recent single Pact showcased not only the pretty melodies and harmonies that the band sew together but also an impressive songwriting ability and a talent for providing big pop hooks that had me humming for days afterwards. One Sixth Of Tommy also delivered a stunning stripped version of Dreams by Fleetwood Mac that left my jaw on the floor in amazement. The band are just set to release their debut album on Helium Records and if it manages to capture the brilliance of the live performance it’s set to be a wonderful intimate affair of pretty songs and addictive hooks.

Case Closed are a live hip-hop act and when I say live hip-hop act I mean it, they use acoustic guitars, harmonies and indie pop hooks along with contagious rapid fire rhymes to create one of the most contagious takes on the hip-hop theme I’ve heard in a long time. Two MC’s battle and duet over some tasty acoustic licks, whilst the guitarist also provides harmonies to the further pepper and provide hooks to the already intoxicating sound. Case Closed have recently supported the likes of Example in recent times and with tracks such as Paranoia, Wait In Line and the infectious Woke Up This Morning it’s easy to see why, the trio deliver a stunning set of memorable rhymes, stunning harmonies and catchy licks that could see the band move onto bigger and better things in the not to distant future.

Leiceseter based The Daydream Club are another band who have band plying their trade on the festival scene with a recent performance at Rhythm & Booze Favourite Summer Sundae whilst also receiving plaudits for their recently release debut Overgrown from everyone from the BBC to Notion Magazine as well receiving praise from Tom Robinson (of 6 Music) for their gorgeous take on acoustic indie pop and hook-laden folk. The male/female duo delivered on their promise with a stunning intimate set with blissed out harmonies, textured indie pop and serene heart stopping, beautiful duets. Songs such as English Rain and the jazzy piano fronted The Affair almost had a cinematic quality, whilst Be With You Always showcased the aforementioned folk element to the band’s unique and captivating sound as the duo delivered a really egaging set that had me completely enthralled through out.

The nights entertainment was rounded off by a short sharp set by two of the normally six-piece The Young Runaways, the guitar/violin duo delivered an engaging set of rousing indie folk and (orchestral) pop that intrigued as well invigorated. I’d like to se the full band in action as on the evidence on show here the band have an impressive arsenal of catchy songs that with the power of a full band could really be something special. The male/female duo of guitar, vocals and violin finished the evening with a brilliant slowed down folky version of ska classic, Message To Rudy ending an eclectic night of majestic music, energetic hip-hop and bewitching pop in fine fashion.
