Hello ... Hello ... my old friends ... It's great to see you once again! It is so very apt to be writing and compiling this review on the 69th birthday of Sir Paul McCartney! Hence; it was my great pleasure to be in attendance and witness the first ever live gig by 'Band On The Runn' [BOTR] at the Goodrich Club in Wolverhampton last night with Chris 'Jet' Evans.
In a packed venue; this new Paul McCartney; Beatles and Wings tribute act produced a phenomenal; unbroken set for over two [2] hours that including some great interpretations of Paul McCartney influenced song writing and performances from the first Beatles album through his Wings career and solo material up to his time with The Firemen.
'Band On The Runn' are: Craig Whale; Adam Willetts; Ian Hammond and Dave Cottle. For a band playing for the first time in front of a sizeable audience; This group are polished; tight and professional! BOTR delivered tracks such as: "Jet"; "Flaming Pie"; "Hey Jude"; "Highway"; "Coming Up"; "Back In The USSR"; "Hey Jude"; "Let 'Em In"; "Live And Let Die"; "Let It Be"; and "Drive My Car" amongst many others. I have say that my absolute favourite last night was: "The Long And Winding Road"!
Please be advised that ELO Beatles Forever [ELOBF] recommends 'Band On The Runn' to all music fans who like the ELO and Beatles genres in particular as well as to the many live music venues and promoters here in the Midlands of England and beyond!
