Review of The Room + Gdansk81
The band played well but I was very disappointed with the choice of songs. They ignored nearly all of their most popular material (as reflected on Spotify). Shirt of Fire, Naïve and Whirlpool, for example, all missing from the set.

Review of Vinny Peculiar at The Castle
A wonderful gig by Vinnie Peculiar promoting his excellent new album, assisted by a great little band and armed with a back catalogue of wonderfully eclectic songs. A true British troubadour who I always liken to Ray Davies. In fact he's a national treasure to those of us who are lucky to have discovered his music and words. It was my first visit to The Castle and fond it to be a very friendly place, good beer and a wonderfully compact and atmospheric 'Music Room'. I'll be back. Oh I nearly forgot to say I really enjoyed the opening singer/songwriter, Steve Roberts.

Review of Vinny Peculiar at The Castle
Great couple of hours begining with Steve O'Donoghue followed by Vinny plus band showcasing tracks from his latest album While You Still Can - from the back the sound came over a treat the bass and drums addition to what I have previously heard from Vinny's duo stage show of guitar / keys was a thumping tour de force for the 'rock out' numbers - but had a subtlety that was turned on and off as required - was more than happy that the people in attendance were appreciative with not much talking over the quieter numbers and a pretty raucous reception following each track played - the room was pretty much comfotably full a few more could have been crammed in - well worthy of a larger audience...just not too large...

Review of Vinny Peculiar at The Castle
Vinny Peculiar is a class act who has been vastly overlooked. a true English songwriter in the mould of Ray Davies, Brilliant lyrics, a unique performance style and equally engaging either solo or with his excellent band. Go see this guy!
