(Review taken from Derry's Facebook Post) Once again we were visited by one of this country’s best songwriters. John Richards and his superb band, were on top-form and just completely nailed it! What a fantastic night. The musicianship was, as always first class, the lead and harmony vocals were lovingly honed to perfection and John’s original written material was arranged, produced and delivered in a polished, well-rehearsed, dynamic performance, fit for the largest of stages. We were also treated to numerous, hilarious stories about John’s unfortunate escapades, made even funnier by the fact that we all knew that they were all absolutely true. John, Em, Julia, and Jim…. Fantastic! Who was brave enough, who was good enough to lead us into what was the best night ever? Velvet Green, that’s who. Like John, Paul Mathews writes some cracking original songs and with Sue Mathews and her perfect-pitch voice accompanying Paul’s laid-back finger-style guitar, it just can’t go wrong. Not only did it not go wrong, it was truly great entertainment. A well thought out set, built for joining in, and we did! Remember the name; Velvet Green, they’re great! MC Chris Irving, did a superb job too. Skilfully and expertly navigating us all through the many waves of fun and excitement. Chris…You’re never right mate and we love you for it!! |
