House Party
gig – Steve Winch third album preview launch
I have never
been to a house party that hosts a real gig before. I’ve done gigs. I’ve done house parties. But never a combination of both.
This was a
private party to have a sneak preview of Steve Winch’s new album, songs from
the killer floor – volume three.
It was very
intimate. Nice people. Food and drink. And good music. What more do you need?
We started
off with a warm up from Adrian Stranik. He
is a rockabilly who gave us a range of blues, rock and roll and even a bit of
Elvis Costello (well it was his birthday today).
Then onto the
main event. Steve has already two albums
and is just about to launch his third album called Songs from the killer chair
volume three. Lucky attendees had an opportunity
to buy a copy before its general release.
The set
started with Tumbleweed. This is the
first track of the new album and one of my personal favourites. I actually have quite a few favourites on the
new album. I would invite you to check
out Ill wind gonna blow – which sounds like it could be used in a Tarrantino
film! I also really love Don’t you think
it’s time and chasing freedom.
Steve has a
lovely voice and is an accomplished songwriter. He delivers the tracks so well that on Queen
in my pocket (from his second album) he sang it so beautifully that he got a
marriage proposal from a woman in the audience! He can rock. He can roll. He can deliver with meaning, with humour and
with passion.
He is a very
talented individual. And backed up by
Steve Askew on Bass and Kristian Carter on drums, he delivered a great set and
taster for his new album.
Want to know
more? Come along to the Launch of his
new album on 4th October at the Stables, Milton Keynes and see for
yourself. Tickets available from www.stables.org
