Hallo Pete,
The missus and I really liked the Skinny Molly show - you're a hero for bringing over these great acts from the US, long may it continue! Great sound, great guys.
We're looking forward to the next WT Feaster gig in March, it'll be our 3rd time seeing them at the Beaverwood, can't wait

Thanks for putting them on.

Hi Pete
Just got back from the Beaverwood gig at Chistlehurst. What a fantastic show. Laz played 3 killer songs from his new album. He finished the gig with amazing versions of Rory's Walking on Hot Coals and Shadow Play. Just as you think he cannot get any better........Wow.

Saw the Larry Miller Band for the 1st time last night at the Beaverwood and he was sensational. Can't believe I'd not even heard of him before last week (I know I must have been living in a different country for the last 10 years!).
Many thanks for putting him on.

They were all excellent but that Paul Macartney chap must be his twin youger brother or something. He just was 'him'. He must have spent hours studying him that it was in fact quite spooky at times.
We'll definately be back to see one of your other another bands there and obviously to see 'The Imagine Beatles' next time. Thanks so much for a wonderful night out.

We have being going to concerts for some 40 years.
We both said that this concert was up there with the very best.
The songs just got better and better.i said they will not top that one and lo and behold you got even better.well done.
Aword of thanks to the band who were as tight as we have seen at the beaverwood.
The album has not left the car since the gig and we look forward to seeing you in 2012.
Many Thanks for the perfect LIVE gig.

Last Sunday's Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes gig at The Music Palace takes my award for the highest quality all round gig experience in 2011 - and I get out to quite a few!! Fabulous World class musicianship, awesome PA, Sound Engineer & outboard gear, cystal clear hi-fi sound, wonderful upscale venue with reasonable bar prices and all for a lower ticket price than the West End venues (none of which have ever heard of, "customer service" and treat their customers as a minor inconvenience)!!!! Live music just doesn't get better than this - at any level. You continue enthusiastically striving to bring us top quality live Rock & Blues music whilst others put bottom line economics before considerations of musical quality.

Fantastic night last night. Really enjoyed Dave Jackson Band having missed him at the album launch. Perhaps you could get Diego back with a full band as that would be interesting and having spoken to him before the gig he is enjoying the learning experience anf indeed the guidance that Stoney has offered him. Stoney Curtis was excellent. The only downside was the small audience.....a little bit of rain and wind and the whole nation comes to a standstill......it was their loss as they missed a treat.

You've done it again, last Tuesdays' show at the Beaverwood was of the 5 star humdinger variety. I don't know how you do it, but keep doing it, I mean attracting the likes of Walter Trout last June and his Bluesbreakers pal Buddy Whittington last Tuesday.
regards,
Chris from Kent.
| 23 Nov 2011 19:03 | Post #1175 |
Just to let you know. A big thanks.
I asked for for four tickects at the front, and to be fair, and understandably so, you were doubtful.
But, it all happened. We had the best seats in the place.
And topped off with a couple of the best acts around. (well, for me anyway)
Aaron Keylock, is pretty phenonemal, and Buddy Whittington - and his band - are so 'tight' and acomplished and skillfull.
Ten times better than I hoped for. Blew us away. Great stuff.
So you might know. Took a friend who'd never been to the Beaverwood before. In fact, I don't think they'd actually been to a 'gig' before.
Maybe seen a West End show (perhaps?) And there they were, at the front, seeing it real.
They (our friend) didn't stop talking about it all the way home.
In short - thanks. Well appreciated.
Good luck, and thanks again.

They were Awesome!
Thank you

The Stone Electric were a revelation from Memphis. It\'s not the kind of music I listen to but I had to buy the cd after this live performance. Noni really belt out the vocals and Austyn\'s guitar reminded me of Man in their heyday. Perfect bass and drums backing as well. I would now go and see this band if they were the only act playing. Again - brilliant.
| 13 Nov 2011 15:14 | Post #1167 |
Ritchie Taz on Sax added that extra something to an already top notch band.
Set was 2 hours + of sheer magic.
The best gig I've seen in years.
See you next year Billy boy
Well done Pete
| 13 Nov 2011 12:18 | Post #1166 |
The Focus show was our first visit to the Boom Boom Club. What a great gig, thanks. Reminded me a little of the Marquee when it was in Wardour St (OK that was bigger and had a higher ceiling!)
Busy but not overly crammed, real beer and clean toilets – what more could you ask for other than a great band and we had that too.
Brilliant. Great way to celebrate our anniversary. It was only on the way home that my other half gave me the perfect line I should have said to Thijs when shaking his hand at the end. “My wife says you were better tonight than when she saw you in Cardiff in 1975”.
First time we’ve been but not the last, I’m sure.
Thanks

Just wanted to thank you for the fantastic "Focus" gig last night, and support band "Stone Electric" were excellent. Unfortunately the mate who was coming did'nt, so I only needed the one ticket, but many thanks for getting me on the advance list.
It certainly was very warm there last night!!!

We met briefly last night at the Focus concert.I would just like to say THANK YOU for a really, really memorable evening. I was the first person there, got my place at the front of the stage,and more importantly got two photos with the group at the end.
Fantastic concert, great MC work , an occasion I will remember for a very long time!
Thank you again.

Not one but two great gigs this week (blackfoot. And focus) and both well attended too really enjoyed the stone electric too..Austyn has a great sound. I will get over to see them at chislehurst with dave jackson in a couple of weeks time....and how many great bands can mike estes be in at once!! Thanks for keeping us supplied with live music in south london...its great to see how both the boom boom and beaverwood have built up now...I never expected it after worcester park but they're both great venues with no neighbours,low ceilings and consequently brilliant sound. I really appreciate your efforts! Best rockin regards. Pete Skinner

On Sunday night at Sutton the songwriter and rocker, Willie Nile (Buffalo, NY) was even better than at any of the previous shows I'd seen from his band over the last year (yes, all four of them)! James Stevenson (The Alarm) is the guitarist on this tour - somewhat rockier in style than the guitarists on Willie's previous two UK jaunts. Peerless rhythm section remains unchanged (thankfully)! The audience was clearly won over from the first/second song and were to be seen with camera phones held aloft. I observed plenty of activity over at the merch stall at the evening's end. Workmanlike support was provided by The David Sinclair Band. Musician Micky Kemp looked after the PA and this time around the fuses in the main PA head proved man enough for the job in hand - the band were gratifyingly loud with good sound!! The gig was well also very attended for a Sunday. Whatever you were doing last Sunday, you'd have been better off at this gig!! Anyone havering over booking for tonight's Willie Nile and gig at The Beaverwood, Chislehurst - for heaven's sake just do yourself a favour and go and see him. One of the best original Rock/Americana shows you'll see this (or any other) year!!!! Willie Nile is a direct contemporary of Bruce Springsteen and is similar to both 'The Boss'/Tom Petty in musical style but dare I say better!! Willie Nile is the real deal!!!! See him for cheap money now or wait a year and pay more - it's your choice...
Best regards,

Thanks again for putting Willie on at Sutton. A great show. That monumental rendition of "Love is a train" is now sparring with that stunning rendition of "Bombay Calling" by It's a Beautiful Day (also at Sutton !) as my champagne moment of the gig-going year.
And the 10.30pm finish meant I was able to catch my last train home with ease !

Thanks for promoting Willie Nile. Last night he was absolutely amazing in Sutton. Rock & roll with pure integrity.
I can't get to any of his other gigs this time around but I have persuaded my cousin who lives in Vancouver to meet me in New York in the spring JUST to attend a Willie Nile show.
Please keep bringing him back

It was one of those nights where Erja got completely carried away in the second half, lost track of the time, and the lights came on before she could do the encore. She's back in the UK in March, another show at The Beaverwood would be perfect.

Gabriel especially was bang on form last night.

Firstly Aaron. What can I say. threre's this thirteen year old chap, not only playing some great Blues guitar, but also bossing his band around so they know when to finish. He communicates with the audience better than many Beaverwood regulars and has a hearty heandshake too. He might sing like an angel at the mo but I bet there's some down low dirty Blues to come once his voice breaks.
As for The Nimmo Brothers, they are one of my faves.
Considering the amount of times I'm up The Beaver, It's not often I e-mail you after a gig, and I've just realised when I do. It's not about being pissed, it's about being high. I reularly have 4, 5 or 6 pints (4 tonight) and have a great time, but that's not high. The high comes directly from the band and The Nimmo Brothers do it for me. If I tried to explain, I'd sound like a nerd and we don't want that do we?
See you next week for old man Virgil.

I was saddened to hear of Big Derek's passing. Though in truth I did not really know him at all, there was an incident on my third visit I think to the boom boom club. As I was leaving I said "good night" to him and got a "good night Adrian" in return, which surprised me so much I almost did a double take. That Derek had for whatever reason taken the time to remember my name and I had not a clue as to his, now I am probably one of the worst people at remembering names and no doubt use that as an excuse not to try too hard to do so. But after that incident I did feel ashamed that Derek had made the effort and I had not !. Since then I have been making a conscious attempt to remember the names of people I come into contact with and hopefully thanks to Derek and that incident I may be a slightly better person.
So for my part however brief my acquaintance with Derek was, it has left it's mark and every time I manage to remember someone's name I will thank him for that life lesson.

Henrik Freischlader at the Beaverwood. Well done Pete, a terrific band, reminded me of the time I first saw Joe Bonamassa over at the Boom Boom way back when he wasn\'t very well known over here. Henrick just as good IMHO. You\'ll get him back in the future I trust.

Came along to see Henrik Freischlader\'s band tonight. Was a bit undecided about it, and it was a last minute decision. But am I glad I did come along. Great sound and I will be looking out for Henrik\'s return to Chislehurst sometime in the future.

Fantastic debut in Sutton by the Mersey Makers last night. They gave the crowd one of the very best nights of the year. Can\'t wait to see them back at the Boom Boom, and pulling the big crowds that we see for Amen Corner and Absolute Bowie etc.

I just wanted to say thanks for a great show last night at the Boom Boom.
I've seen some brilliant guitarists and some great blues down there but Sherman last night was simply The Real Deal. His band was really tight (he didn't have to introduce a song once; they just knew) and he just owned the stage (and the bar, and outside too!).
A fantastic night, thanks for putting it on.
