This much talent for 6 quid? Bargain!
As nights out went it was almost an even bigger bargain, with The Loyalties also due to play. Unfortunately transport problems led to an eleventh hour cancellation, leaving us with three great bands, Scaramanga Six, Shush and Eureka Machines (from Leeds, London & Leeds respectively). I was looking forward to seeing Scaramanga Six as I’d heard good things about them, and they didn’t disappoint. I was moved enough to pick up a copy of their recently released album ‘Songs of Prey’. and it’s on repeat play as I write.

Next up were Shush – I will admit to a bias here, they are a great band and getting stronger all the time, with catchy songs and stage presence by the bucketload. Vocalist Milena has a sweet voice that packs a real punch. They put in a typically energetic performance, leaving the crowd shouting for more.

Headliners Eureka Machines were recently described by Classic Rock as “a glorious cacophony of power pop noise”. They have the songs, they have the harmonies, they have the suits, they have the audience in the palms of their hands. I’ve seen this band a number of times and they always deliver.
Honestly, when there’s talent like this available to see on your doorstep for just a few quid, why stay in and watch TV?

These bands deserve to be seen! And for once I’m not just talking about the venue lighting…
