BLUES ROCK ROADSHOW
IMV 19th June 2026
Out at the The International Music Venue last night to see the hugely talented BLUES ROCK RO0ADSHOW featuring Remi Harris and Dave Small, familiar from the "Man of the World" shows. This show however is different, covering a range of very familiar rock classics, and indeed a few i didnt know!, and dipping into the legacy of the likes of Peter Green, Rory Gallagher, Led Zeppelin and others... and everything played superbly, with stacks of energy and brilliant musicianship, despite that I find this a difficult review to writelll
Throughout, Remi's guitar work is breathtakingly good, you will have to go many a mile to hear another player this good... and Dave's terrific vocals and percussion are a perfect match in the genre.
Behind the principals, the bass playing is sublime.. beautifully clear in the mix it manages to be melodic, fluent and rocking throughout, while the drummer doesnt fall into the bluesrock trap of being overly flambouyant.. simply playing superbly in perfect unison with the band throughout and driving things along perfectly
No two ways about it, this is a band of four outstandingly gifted musicians playing together as a unified whole.. each member has solos in the show, but this is a band... four guys playing together as a magnificent whole... and my, they rightly went down a storm with the audience.
Reason I find this review difficult is that over the last year or so i have gradually lost interest in the blues/rock and guitar hero music which no longer fires me as it once did... so although it was abundantly clear that this band is outstanding in every way, masters of their craft and delivered a superb performance... it is not the genre of music i enjoy these days, so sadly i didn't really enjoy the show... everyone else in the room did though
