A

first four this year. |

Opening
act Primitive Instinct impressed with their brand of prog while
Landmarq played a similar set to the one in Liscombe Park a few
months before. The Cardiacs are, I guess, prog-punk and attracted
a wide audience - pretty teenage girls to fat and ugly 40 or 50
somethings. I think it is fair to say that their fanbase probably
avoided the previous acts and also that most fans of those bands
probably vacated the premises well before the final note of the
Cardiacs set. An acquired taste - and one that I have yet to acquire. |

A
strange bill, Gravity (local band) in the same position as last
year followed by the rather tedious and uninspired UK Blues Project.
Pretty much all the audience had been either sitting or elsewhere
until Jump appeared and livened things up. They filled the hall
again and, as usual, gave their all with the non-musical highlight
being the comments directed at tribute bands and John retuning Pete's
guitar as he played on. Always entertaining Jump blew away the earlier
bands and stole the thunder from what was a pretty note- perfect
but uninspired Floyd cover band. What surprised me about Perfect
Alibi was that they seemed to rely on lyric sheets for a fair number
of the songs. I would have thought that if the band had really been
fans of Floyd they wouldn't require help singing 20 to 30 year old
songs. |

Initially
the show was just Pete and John but Steve made the mistake of turning
up to watch and was dragged up for a couple of songs. A bit rough
and ready in places (lots of places) as a) this was the first full
Pete and John solo show and b) I'd been misleading Pete in the pub
during the afternoon. Still, the show attracted people from as far
as Swindon and Delaware and the locals provided cannon fodder to
the Jones tongue. |
