We spent a very happy evening in the world of “Trouble Everyday”, giving us a mixture of original compositions, traditional blues and surprising covers which amounted to a thoroughly entertaining gig. Covering a range of subjects, Chris's songwriting is compelling, from the political "I Don't Want to be a Nuisance" to the environmental "Go Plant Me A Tree" and the moving "If I Try", his skilful weaving of stories and perspectives with witty, sensitive lyrics proved captivating. Keith's guitar added a powerful element, sometimes sweet, sometimes howling and always expressive such as his searing solo on "Dance Monkey". Traditional blues versions allowed both players to display their musicianship, as in their lovely exchanges in "St. Louis' Blues" whilst covers like the Foo Fighters "Monkey Wrench" and "Filthy Gorgeous" by Scissor Sisters just added to the stylish, fun spirit of the gig. The audience left satisfied and smiling - thank you to those who came along to support us, we really appreciate it. News of our next gig coming very soon...
