The Real Thing

Enjoyed a cracking gig last night out at The Globe in Glossop. We were part of a small but highly appreciative crowd packing out the upstairs room where The Guilty Men were playing. The capaciously talented Clive Gregson (of Any Trouble fame, amongst other musical adventures) was a contemporary of John's at school more than five decades ago and played a wonderful set of beautifully crafted songs, mostly from a recently recorded album from the combo. Being up close to five master musicians cranking it out with love & enthusiasm felt like a rare privilege. Spot-on harmonies with no fewer than four great voices on stage and some gorgeous slide work from Mr Gregson were the stand-outs for me, but there was much else to wrap your ears around. Definitely a highlight of our December jaunt!
