with Joe Scott and band, Rhett Barrow, Andrea Kenny, Daz Lynch, Joeker Digz and Paul Roberts<\/h2>\n

Paul Roberts<\/strong> opened tonight’s show. He began by singing Living the Dream<\/em>. It was a lively start to his set. Paul is a singer who is well known in Leicester. He has graced the stages of this place for many years. His performance met with enthusiastic approval from the audience. Paul brought Rhett Barrow to the stage for a duet. Together they sang Don’t let the ba**ards get you down<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The second artist tonight was Joeker Digz<\/strong>. He began his set with a rendition of Wonderwall<\/em>, by Oasis. Following that he sang one of his own songs. It was a robust performance in which his strong voice was projected with great delivery. He also did a rap number to backing tracks which included a refrain from Eminem and Dido’s Stan<\/em> from 2002.<\/p>\n

Next to take to the stage was Daz Lynch<\/strong>. A legendary Leicester musician who has been in bands – his band was called Revival – but tonight was performing as a solo artist. His powerful voice carried the songs into the room, reminding us what a great presence he is on stage. It is good that many of our music acts are still with us, still entertaining us with their music, after many years.<\/p>\n

His set projected a great sense of fun and was completely entertaining.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I had to leave early to get the last bus home at 22:00 so I missed some of the later acts. I have tried to put some comments together from the videos that Kevin took on the night.<\/p>\n

The Joe Scott<\/strong> Band did a very enjoyable set of songs. This trio of musicians has been to the Soundhouse before; well Joe Scott certainly has. Joe Scott on guitar, with a bassist and drummer. These songs are really good.<\/p>\n

Andrea Kenny<\/strong> was on stage and in the video (below) she sang with Rhett Barrow. Andrea is one of the very great singers from Leicester and hugely popular with our local music fans.<\/p>\n

The evening was headlined by One Town Over<\/strong>. I watched them performing at the Soundhouse on YouTube on 6th March. The five-piece band has been at The Soundhouse before. A group of well-experienced musicians people enjoyed their folky sets of melodic songs. An excellent conclusion to a wonderful night of music.<\/p>\n

It was so good to be back at the Soundhouse after a long absence. I saw many familiar faces in the audience. Tonight it was limited to fifty people and, I was told, they were turning people away at the door once the venue was full.<\/p>\n

So good to see our music venues coming back to life.<\/p>\n
