Rory Ellis and Rory Mcleod playing at the Trades Club, Hebden Bridge Nov 25th
Live Music Reviews By Fusive on Friday, November 25, 2005
A great live music night at the Trades Club Hebden Bridge last night, went over to see Rory Mcleod and Rory Ellis, An excellent nights entertainment, with two brilliant singer songwriters, the night started with Rory Ellis an Australian singer/songwriter who combines a rich distinctive voice with emotive lyrics to produce an exhilarating and original sound. Next we had the pleasure of Rory Mcleod's skillful entertaining, he began by playing the harmonica as he came on stage, unbelievably talented, words would not do justice to his musical ability, needs to be heard to be believed. His skillfull rythmical finger picking on the accoustic guitar was amazing, with great original songwriting and insight.

Bob Dylan - Manchester - November 2005
Live Music Reviews By Fusive on Thursday, November 24, 2005
Just had a Bob Dylan review sent to me by a friend who went to see him the other week, it seems like a lot of people who went to see him were of a same mind, I heard a phone in on the radio myself the other day people were saying it was not what they expected from such a legend and maybe it's time that he gave up, maybe thats what he wants people to think. Here's the review from Christine "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very mixed about sir bobness - lacked passion, in my opinion he was going through the motions......i could forgive his wierd undulating voice that at times sounded like Vic Reeves when he does his "pub singer impressions" I find it hard to forgive the fact that he had his back turned to 50% of the audience the whole night and even worse that he never even attempted to interact - he forced a weak introduction of the band at the end - quite dissapointed really. I love live music of any kind ('cept jazz) and I also think he....

Live Music Reviews By Fusive on Monday, November 14, 2005
Christy Moore played the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic a couple of weeks ago, was amazing to see him play live after listening to his songs for the last 15 years or so. He played lots of my old favourites, and also some songs from his new album Burning Times.

Language. Sex. Violence. Other?
Live Music Reviews By Fusive on Thursday, October 20, 2005
After recently going to see Stereophonics at Manchester MEN Arena on their LSVO tour, I have just three words to say about Kelly Jones - Rock and Roll! He stood in the same stance for the whole set, complete with suitably tight fitting jeans, leather bomber jacket and rather large shades, and just looked so cool. He captivated the crowd effortlessly (even those not swooning over him as I was, ie. the men).
