 More Gravy Goodness Laughing Gravy on Fri 2nd Nov 07 | |
  Another helping of the Gravy at The Redwing gave an enjoyable evening - the lads seem to be working hard on their set with new numbers scattered throughout the set.
The 1st set was good though a little overpowering on the lead guitar for me, and once warmed up was as good as always.
The sound was balanced better in the 2nd set and just continued to get better and better.
For me - yet again (sorry!) - the absolute stonker of the night was The Rolling Stones 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', without a doubt the best number for me due to the absolute superb guitar work by new Gravy'er Kevin.
It seems that while the lads are as good as always at thumping out the old blues standards they really excel in the more 'melodical' numbers - if that makes any sense! Often their best numbers are those which I wouldn't expect, and their talent shines through.
I've thought for a while now that the Gravy have evolved post Paddy into a much more balanced band - the new numbers played prove this for me.
Apparently their hoping for more gigs - and they deserve them.
If you've not seen them yet - wake up and smell the Gravy! | |

| Another Winner..................... Laughing Gravy on Fri 3rd Aug 07 | |
This was the 2nd time I had seen the 'post paddy' line up, and it confirmed what I thought first time around: the show goes on and is as good as it has ever been!
The old favourites are still there but new numbers are bringing a welcome new sound to this superb local band. The 'rolling & tumbling' debut was excellent and new guitarist, Kevin, really brings something new to the band. Musically, the lads are the best they have ever been, in my view.
I would personally like to hear them play John Lee Hooker's 'Boom-Boom' more akin to the original but thats because I'm a real JLH fan I guess!
I don't know why, but everytime I hear Rod Stewart's 'The first cut is the deepest' I always think of the Gravy playing it. It just seems one of those songs that would suit their sound. Have a think about it Dave?
My favourite - as before - was the classic Stones number 'You can't always get what you want', except with the Gravy you DO get what you want.
The lads apparently have done a 4 track sampler cd - and I'll try my best to get hold of one of those when it comes out.
The night flew by far too quickly for me and I had to leave before the end - why on earth did I book a taxi home for 11:15pm ?????
In all, another enjoyable evening at the best pub in Lympstone

 Cheered Up! crush uk on Fri 13th Jul 07 | |
 When you are in the fortunate position that Mr Weller finds himself, the excitement probably outdoes the nerves when you can borrow from your other band The Bobkatz, and the person you are borrowing is skin basher supremo Stewart White!
Stewart had learned a good smattering of Crush UK songs and some regular covers from their set, and all three members were able to take full advantage of the tracks covered by both bands including a thunderous 'Paint It Black', a jump-up-and-down-a-lot 'I Predict A Riot' and to top it all the outstanding, incomparable 'Tube Station'!
Mr Dudley was more than happy at half time with - as he put it - being 'kept on his toes', and the captain was revelling in the smiling faces.
By the end of the evening most of the punters (rammed in like sardines) were or had been on their feet and all were joining in the singalongafest.
In all the years I have been going to gigs at the Redwing, I have never heard such a Loud and Long Heartfelt CHEER as the one offered up for Stewart upon being thanked by Martin at the end of the gig!
Amazing! | |

| Scorchio! The BobKatZ on Fri 29th Jun 07 | |
  The Redwing is well renowned for hot and happening gigs, but some just exceed all expectations!
Despite the 'katz feeling that they were a little off the boil (slack) compared to their usual performances, this gig had the same feel about it as New Years Eve! The venue was packed and as usual very hot, the crowd danced all night and the boys barely paused between songs.
They have successfully brought back some numbers into the set, and start the evening as they mean to go on, with a gritty grinding version of 'Should I stay or should I go'. A good mixing up of their current set list is enough to keep the regulars interested and entertained and no break in transmission for the landlord this time (aahhh!).
This band have a big sound, and big fun, even when things go slightly wrong, it's all dealt with in a good humoured way.
Exceptional guitar/bass playing, and a masterclass in precision percussion, keeps the excitement levels up for the whole night; anyone who hasn't seen them yet - you really should!
Meltdown expected, I'll say! Encores called for, and given (amid yells of 'play another set').
They should be very pleased with themselves for giving a pub full of people a very, very good time. | |
