Here we go with proper account of the night....I think!
Mark and I met Kate in Ripley for accoustic gig by George (of the Crooks) and Matt (of Censored). Took a bit of finding but realised it was right in front of us! The Cock Hotel was a nice comfy setting with leather couches and quite cosy. Not quite sure what I was imagining but I was pleasantly surprised.
The evening started off with "Open Mic" session which included two girls whose names I really cannot remember. The first girl was accompanied by George on guitar and she did an amazing version of The Cranberries song "Linger". The next girl was called Kath I think and she just had the most powerful voice for a 14 year old. Was really impressed with her own song as well as KT Tunstall cover.
I then got talking to Matt's parents (ooh names escape me again) I am so terrible! During this time Julian was on stage doing a couple of songs and he was really good, but I really should have paid more attention too! So I hope to see him again at some point.
George was up next and opened up with an amazing Radiohead cover. I was amazed at George's voice as the songs he sang were so much different from the rocking sound of The Crooks. A thoroughly enjoyable set.
Next up was Matt of Censored and he opened up his set with a couple of Kula Shaker covers as he had been to see them thenight before. This was followed with a personal dedication of "All you got to do is ask" which I like very much. But never actually listened to the lyrics before...hmmm a bit risque Matt! He then made us laugh with some song called "Dutch Courage" or something like that - some very funny lyrics.
Next couple of acts I don't really remember, so sorry!
Night was finished off with the hillarious Johnny Cuisine aka Scott of a band called Confused. He had put some promt sheets up with some of his chorus lines and "I felt like a Sandwich" and "Why don't you just shut the f**k up" to name a few. Must see this again!!!
Got some fab pictures taken and Kate and I obviously got a little drunk but all in all it was a really good evening!
