81 Renshaw Liverpool reviews by real event-goers

Review of Something & Nothing

Especially liked Kathy Halter and Friends. Original, open-hearted songs with poised instrumentation and harmonies. A cool little venue with good sound.

Review of Harriet Kemsley: Slutty Joan

Harriet Kemsley is absolutely brilliant. I’d never seen her before and she had me crying with laughter within minutes.

Review of Once & Future Band

It is a rare privilege to catch such an outstanding group of musicians in an intimate club setting like this. Possibly even better live than they are on record, the OFB have taken a heap load of 70s and 80s influences and crafted them into a wholly new style of their own. Some classify this band as 'prog', but this does not do them justice, there is so much going on in there which will appeal to a broad church of music lovers. Superb melodies and arrangements are underpinned by a tight rhythm section and sure footed improvisation. These guys clearly enjoy playing as a group and understand each other perfectly. It's a very 'British' sound for group of cool cats from California. A band who surely deserve to be better known in the uk. Catch them if you can. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Review of Once & Future Band

Absolutely stunning, fantastic band. Nice to see them in such an intimate atmosphere but can't understand why these guys aren't filling arena's. Their sound is huge. Will definitely see these every time they play anywhere near me. Got a signed set list and a drumstick which I'm going to be putting on my wall.

Review of Calum Gilligan- Maybe Half a Lifetime EP Launch

Loved every minute!

Review of Calum Gilligan- Maybe Half a Lifetime EP Launch

Calum was good. I had never heard him before, but enjoyed his performance. I found the support acts less to my taste- rather too 'downbeat', for my liking.
The venue gave a good atmosphere- though a bit cramped.

Review of Calum Gilligan- Maybe Half a Lifetime EP Launch

Calum Gilligan is an amazing singer-songwriter and add to that performances from Caitlin Gilligan and Thom Morecroft in a wonderful intimate venue and you have a totally perfect EP Launch. Kudos to all involved.

Review of Calum Gilligan- Maybe Half a Lifetime EP Launch

Calum's music absolutely shone. I have never been to a better gig in my life. This has been the highlight of my year.

Review of Amy Speace - In store

Amy Speace is a remarkable singer-songwriter who should be enjoying a much wider audience. Whilst it was lovely to see her perform in such an intimate venue, I hope she soon reaches the point when she has to play much bigger venues in the UK>
