Impressive support: Ben Cowcill & Amy Sharp |
The evening commenced with the twin debuts of Ben Cowcill and: Amy Sharp, who each delivered their own stunning four song set. The highlights of which (for me) were Ben's versions of "Come Together" and "Mrs. Robinson" as well as Amy's renditions of "I Feel The Earth Move" and "Skyfall" before they combined for their fantastic encore.
This was my third Quill gig and having seen the band in acoustic mode and full electric mode previously, this was the most impressive of their performances to date as they captivated those in attendance and went about owning the stage upon their arrival on the provincial scene.
With a set list of superb interpretations interspersed with their own compositions, the evening was not only entertaining, it was also moving and truly energetic from the opening chords of "Tumbling Years" all the way through to their exhilarating encore "Whiskey In The Jar". The inspired, soaring vocals of Joy Strachan-Brain and the guitar work of Paul Sargent was again of particular note but the cohesiveness of the band meant that they were all worthy of the extended applause.
