ISLAND LIFE THE NEW BREED-THE GIG!!!!


Well all I have to say is last night was MAGIC!

I was fortunate enough again! ...To be part of the audience at a gig that was being held at the Glee Club in Birmingham.

The line up consisted of  three fantastic young artists called:

PET LAWRIE
LAUREN PRITCHARD 
TINASHE

Pete Lawrie opened the line up with several strong acoustic performances. A harsh rustic sounding voice. A combination of sweet ballads and meaningful tunes. Lacking a little backing unfortunately but never the less a solid performance. Room for more dynamics and scope I did feel however. For all things Pete please go check for yourself at the following links.

Lauren Pritchard -  I have to say, following in the footsteps of great artists such as Sara Berellis and even Sarah McLachlan. This sweet girl from Tennessee absolutely chilled me to the bones. Her voice, tone and the arrangement of songs were such that they could warm the heart of the hardest of critics. This girl was amazing. I am in awe of her confidence and her technical vocal ability. Wonderful wonderful wonderful!
If you Like either  Sara Berllis and even Sarah Mclachlan, you'll absolutely love this girl. 
To follow Lauren click the link below. New album release out 25th October. You won't be disappointed!

Lastly we were treated to the enthusiastic delights of the ever so talented Tinashe.
This angelic looking singer erupted onto the set in an amazing resonance of music. If you liked the eighties then you'll love Tinashe. He has taken the energy and life of the eighties music and given it a unique 2010 feel. If you love music and dancing this guy is for you. We were dancing in our seats and  we wanted more. I can see why he is getting great write ups. He is one to watch. He has the most amazing band to support him too. The drummer was totally on fire and never missed a beat. The bass player and lead guitarists held their own commanding respect in all they did. Go check this guy out. He is going far. 

Before I go I would like extend my gratitude to the Glee Club for allowing me to witness such a fine assortment of new up and coming talent.

Great night guys THANKS! J's xx
