Things I Enjoy
One of my favourite live bands at one of my favorite venues. The acoustics at the Bridgewater Hall are sublime, and the perfect setting to some of my favourite violin riffs.
No support band, just two sets from the headliners. They played a good number of my favourite numbers, along with some newer stuff.
The violin riffs in ‘Girl Called Johnny’ and ‘Whole of the Moon’ were personal high points. An exceptionally good evening.
I have a confession to make. I didn’t know who Thunder were 😀
That is, until I heard their new album of acoustic reworking of their 80’s rock material. That was why they played the Bridgewater Hall with all of it’s seats. The album is called “Please Remain Seated”.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was obvious the songs they did would be catchy whichever way they were performed. Must check out the original sounds sometime.
Support was provided by Dan Reed – solo. I’m told by my other half that he has a band, but he was on his own for the Thunder gig.
I’ve subscribed to him on youtube music, so I must have liked what I heard. will definitely have to check him out again when he tours around here in future.
