Venue: Yah Yah's
I must be getting old when I rock up to a Yah Yah’s bar at 8.45pm and the main act had just started and I get excited. Yes, I think, I will be home at a reasonable hour and not be wiped out for work the next day, oh dear you say, but I feel some of you will agree with me!
Harry Hookey and co are rocking the stage as I arrive and the punters are all grooving to the music. Harry is a chatty dude who introduces the band and explains that, with the exception of Dad on bass guitar, the other musicians playing tonight are usually playing a different instrument within the band but due to two family members going overseas, the band has switched positions and some instruments missing (keyboard being one of them). The punters love Dad, with his smiling face, no doubt proud of him son whom he taught guitar too. I’m sure I spotted Mum in the audience swinging to the music. Harry has all the appeal of a rock god with his wild tousled hair hidden under a flat cap (Gatsby style) but the essential brown wardrobe give a more earthy appeal and we must give kudos to dads scarf.
Songs such as Audreys Song, Man on Fire, Sometimes and the album title Misdiagnosed all hit the spot. I can’t help but imagine Harry in a larger venue as his vocals are that powering, he needs a much bigger venue to fill. A Day On The Green needs to get on board and get Harry out in a winery, he will be a crowd tickler. The plethora of fans who come out on this windy night got too meet Harry and co hang after the show as they chatted amongts the punters. A taller person than he looks on stage but just as earthy as he appears and he's happy to engage in conversation where I find out he is a massive Bob Dylan fan. Check him out.....
