 Flying Solo Martin Weller on Sun 27th May 07 | |
   Following on from a stadium-esque aural assault at the Phoenix for Coverd's last (?) gig, I had already planned to be at Drakes for Martin's first show there. A warm atmosphered pub with a decent sized crowd.
The geezer mixed it up well and got a pleasing response to his own well crafted material and the variety of covers including one of my favourites, Norwegian Wood. After the break and a bit of (sound) advice from Martin's bandmate Bobkatz bass holder Nick T, we were treated to a bit more of a full sound, 2 songs called 'Ruby', (great link btw), and Martin was joined on stage by the lovely Sara Corser for a few tunes including the magical Weller penned 'Dorothy' aka 'Here I Go' (we just need to get a little Tibetan bell for the end). Sadly we were not given the pleasure of Sara's stunningly beautiful rendition of Shania's 'Still the one' (maybe next time).
Martin got an encore (always a good sign) and ended the evening with what I always think is a bizarre choice 'Fings (ain't wot they used to be)', but it's a bit of a laugh.
Martin is developing a really good solo set and getting more confident each time i see him; there was much warm applause as Martin and Sara were thanked for their performance. Hopefully Martin will get another gig here.
I look forward to seeing him with the Bobkatz at this venue.
In the meantime buddy, be brave with that volume! | |

|
| Print 3 flyers per A4 page, with marked cutting guides. Hint: setting your start date to the first of a month, and your end date to the last day of a month, gives a neat heading on your flyer, e.g. setting 1 May 2008 and 31 Aug 2008 as the start and end dates will produce the heading: 'MAY - AUGUST 08'. Try it! You can also set the font size to a decimal value (e.g. 9.3) to make the gigs fit exactly onto the page. | |
