Petersfield Food Fare
The Square, Petersfield
Saturday 6th June 2009
By kate steaggles

It might have taken a bit of time for the Square to fill up on Saturday evening and despite the grey and gloomy looking sky, the evening kicked off in style with The Visitors playing a short set on stage. 

It wasn't easy for any of the opening acts, as people slowly drifted in to see what was happening, but The Leigh Stokes and the Frank Hamilton Band did their best to get people up and on their feet and soon a crowd had gathered up at the front of the stage.

But it was The Mustangs that really stole the show, bringing some much needed warmth to the crowd, who seemed to be feeling pretty chilly!

When you hear Jont play live, you can understand why the "Unlit" gigs work so well for his music.

On stage he comes across as someone who really values his connection with the audience and he acts as if he has just "come along to play a few tunes" rather than give a "performance", which, in such small venues, is really a gift.

It is only when you see the music performed live that you realise how good some Beatles tunes really are. The Silver Beatles went through the Fab Four's back catalogue with incredible ease last Saturday, including everything from Please Please Me right through to Hey Jude.

Jason Kaye as Paul McCartney had the lead singer's mannerisms down to a tee, and the banter between him Andy Powell (John Lennon) was suitably convincing, whilst their singing voices were uncannily like the real thing. A Hard Days Night and Nowhere Man stood out particularly in this respect, as did James Rogers' (Ringo Starr) vocals on Honey Don't and Darren Vernall (George Harrison) on Here Comes The Sun.

There was a respectful hush over the Square Brewery last Thursday night, as the audience listened carefully. In fact, Pete du Pon remarked on how "polite" Petersfield audiences seemed to be, and good listeners.

Pete took the opportunity to showcase mainly new songs, but also some familiar tunes, including Sensitive Soul and Lost. It was impossible to pick out a favourite, as all of them were excellent and well received by the captive audience, which applauded enthusiastically after every song.

Blues. Pure and simple. That's what Paul Jones does best. Together he and Dave Kelly riffed their way through some classic blues tunes along with their own material last Wednesday night.

They went without a set list, instead choosing what to play as they went along. Although they admitted they leant heavily on songs from the Wireless album, some other gems turned up along the way, as Dave decided to play Steel Guitar Rag on a whim. There was also a Muddy Waters tune and a couple of Memphis Minnie songs alongside Paul's own songs, such as Room and Board.

Martyn Joseph
The Studio@TPS, Petersfield
Friday 5th December 2008
By kate steaggles

Martyn Joseph is one of few performers whose music deserves to be described as compelling.  He manages to make the marriage between words and music seem unbelievably easy.

Listening to his songs, they just seemed too huge to be able to take in all at once.  Torn between following the stories in his lyrics or the melody... it was a tough call (the only compromise was to buy a copy of the album after the show, and listen again to those moments missed).
