Wednesday 29 May 2013thanks for your comment Chris, it was the best night we've had there.

After having been to one of The Haunting AD's acoustic gigs, I was curious to see how they would compare when performing as a full band and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The band evoked a great vibe, and were a delight to watch.
As per usual, Caroline (vocals) showcased her amazing and unique voice - in songs ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Guns N' Roses with her acoustic guitar and harmonica playing added a fantastic contribution to the band's rock and roll sound.
Demonstrating skill and mastery throughout the set, John (lead guitar), employed a wide range of guitar effects pedals achieving some instantly recognisable effects such as a 'dirty Jimi Hendrix styled tone' and a heavier 'Led Zeppelin' tone much to the appreciation of the audience, while his vocals brought a unique sound to the band complementing Caroline to perfection.
Bass guitarist, Jase, brought a raw energy to the band's performance with a lively stage presence that was infectious! Admirably, his professional attitude and efficient troubleshooting saw a small amp problem quickly overcome to ensure the set flowed smoothly and it has to be said that his competent backing vocals helped produce a fuller sound.
Last, but certainly not least - and keeping the groove with good, solid drumming throughout - Zoltan performed the entire set like a pro, completing the full band line up. Clearly a tight unit on stage the relationship between the band members as 'real' friends as well as band colleagues was very evident.
One stand out for me was a particularly well harmonised version of The Kinks "You Really Got Me" and a well executed cover of The Beatles "Come Together" proved a real crowd-pleaser. In fact, it was hard to find a moment during the gig where someone in the crowd was not singing along to a very well selected and performed set list.
Excellent gig: rock and roll as it should be!
