No Man's Band, British Oak, Blackheath, London (GB) - May 12, 2018

They are: Howard Nicholson vcl, John Davis guitar, Derek Sumption keyboard, Mo Clifton bass guitar, Graham Blake drums, and backing vocals from everyone. Someone called George stood in for a couple of numbers on harmonica. This was a really enjoyable local gig. They played early rock ‘n’ roll (eg Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran, Little Richard) and sixties stuff (eg Spencer Davis Group, Faces, Kinks, Beatles). Part of the appeal obviously was nostalgia - it was great to hear the songs I grew up with and the sixties numbers also stood up well. But the playing was good too: the singer had a good voice and was an amusing performer, the guitar and keyboard players were excellent.
