Great review!

We really enjoyed our support slot with The Strawbs at the Beaverwood club last night. It was a good gig – the Strawbs were excellent and we picked up this great review on their website…

Openers the Steve Eggs Band at the Chislehurst show were really very good indeed – I bought the CD. Great poppy rock, frontman and writer Steve has a great voice and supplies good choppy rhythm guitar; both of the other two add some grace notes of the Eagles in the vocal backings.

Jon Kershaw has a nice touch on acoustic lead (normally on electric) and the bass player Peter Wass is really good, with a smashing vintage Hofner bass guitar to boot, effectively underpinning the rhythm without their usual drummer (off in Antigua, we are told). They quipped that without the man on the sticks they didn’t know how to to start and stop some of the numbers, but they did a pretty good job in my view.

Melodic opener “The Road To California” which I particularly liked is on the self-titled 8-track CD (a snip at a fiver for sure!) as were most of the other songs they played, including the bluesy “Good Intentions” (which on the CD to my ear has a rather pleasing T-Rex like electric chug to it).

Well worth checking out if they are playing near you.
