The idea of these independent troubadours put me in mind of ‘Ventura
Highway’ by America and Glen Campbell’s ‘Wichita Lineman’, and there I
realised the missing influence being late 60s, early 70s folk rock. I hope
they like Fleetwood Mac. There’s something also to Joe Francis’ (I later
learn their names) style that identifies the Cornish folk tradition –
although Seth Lakeman crosses the border in Devon, there’s the same
contradictive modern / trad-folk element.
Treating us to three more of their own songs, I’m sold. Then to the last,
and they embark upon what I intuitively knew would be a Fleetwood Mac cover
– two chords in and I’m positive. A stirring rendition of ‘Dreams’ was the
perfect ending. They managed to reclaim that song from the ****ing Corrs. I
scrabble around for pennies at the end of the gig to lay my mitts on an EP
from the band, a sure testament as unsigned EPs get flung in my direction
daily.
