Bowled Over at Aldersbrook Bowls Club

Bowled over@aldersbrook bowls. Once a month opportunity for new musical talent to share their wares. Real wealth of potential. 6/10



Further thoughts after the event. 4 memories.

1. Impressive debut for male acoustic guitar and female singing duo. Played a nice range of material including one by the young female vocalist. She had a rich whispering huskiness to her voice which worked well with the well played guitar in support.

2. A self penned set by ray davies/calm john otway solo blind male musician! Songs inspired by local places and far flung constellations. On reflection the standout performer of the evening. Interesting lyrics and musicality.
3. The headline acts impressive instrument pass the parcel. A 'scratch' band provided a nostalgic set of music and song. Talented group of adolescents
4. Stand out song was a female acoustic guitar duet. A stripped down, slow paced, understated cover of 'Anarchy in the UK' by the Sex Pistols. This was genius and if it was on You Tube had all the ingredients to go viral.
