Jeff Finlin Band (With support from The Wiyos) at The Musician, Leicester

13th September, 2006

On Wednesday 13th September 2006, I went to The Musician Pub in Leicester to see The Wiyos and The Jeff Finlin Band. The Wiyos are a trio from America who play hillbilly, ragtime and old country music - Complete with washboard and honking horns! They kicked the night off with some old favourites and some original material. A particular favourite was 'Some of These Days'. They reminded me of an American Gravelly Hillbillies! Fun stuff, but still great music with some excellent harmonies. As always, Jeff put on a fantastic show!!!! I always love the way he changes either the song arrangements, the band line-up or even style of performance for each tour - His last tour was very acoustic whereas this tour is with a full band sound! - And it really did sound great! Just like the original recordings! The musicians were also first class - Especially Jimmy Page look-a-like, Paul Guerin on guitar!!!! Jeff played songs from his previous albums and also tracks from his new CD, 'Angels in Disguise'. Jeff apologised because he had accidently left his normal specs back home in America and that we'd have to put up with the 'rock star' look! It really didn't matter because they definitely went with the rockin' performance!

Some photos from the night have been added to the 'Nashpop' section of The Hanmade Website, but a direct link to them can be found below:
