Dern good concert, They have gigs in Cambridge (Tonight), Birmingham on the 16, Carsile on the 17 and Edinburgh 18 and are worth seeing if you get chance.
The first 45min set was "semi-acoustic" reworkings and some new songs, all from the new album Essence and the second 105 minutes were an electric set. There are some great musicians. Anne-Marie Helder has a very versatile voice, excelent in both quiet acoustic songs, heavy rockier numbers and some middle east tinged stuff.
David Foster on lead guitar was a treat, he also plays with the Steve Rothery band. Gavin Griffiths' drumms and percussion was excelent, some times playing some electronic pads by hand for a wide varity of acoustic sounding percussion.
Jonathan Edwards was an unasuming presence hidden behind his keyboards at the back, but very competent!
Bass player Hatim Halimi deserves a special mention, a huge stage prescence dispite his tiny size, and boy can he play. He was all over the stage and his fingers all other the fretboard with some imaginative and exciting bass lines.
