Acoustic Consequences: Eugene McGuinness, Stars Of Sunday League, Oct 4th.
Posted by: nick
Thanks to all who came down to the first Acoustic Consequences night at The Fellow in Kings X on Sunday night. We hope you agree that the night was a big success due to three awesome sets from Matt Kebbell, Stars Of Sunday League and Eugene McGuinness.
A big thanks to Matt Kebbell for coming in at late notice to open up proceedings after a lost voice related scare from Stars Of Sunday League. Matt, braving a sore throat himself managed to not sound anything like a ‘pussy’ despite his jests. It’s a distinct possibility our heads might explode if we encountered Matt’s roar at full power. In a good way!
Having lost his voice during a show the previous day Euan of Stars Of Sunday League downed inhuman amounts of lemon and honey and managed to put in a fantastic set. Sarah as ever providing sweet backing vocals and violin. Their new ‘The Boy’s Got Prospects EP’ (CD / iTunes) sold like hot cakes afterwards too. The perfect music for a Sunday evening? We think so. Maybe the rest of the week too.
Eugene McGuinness stepped up for the final slot having braved the perils of Sunday National Rail to get to us from Liverpool. Eugene treated the crowd to a perfect mix of the old and new. ‘A Girl Whom My Eyes Shine For’ got it’s first outing for a while. ‘Vampire Casino’ made our hearts bleed, ‘Nightshift’ got heads a-rocking and ‘Those Old Black and White Movies’ put the icing firmly on the cake. Thanks Eugene.
We’re now booking bands for the next Acoustic Consequences, currently pencilled in for Nov 22nd, names and details to follow soon. See you there!
