Friday 21 December – and it’s one of my current favourite York bands, Freeway, playing at the Roman Bath. After last Friday’s influx of inebriated festive revellers, I was a bit wary of the crowd but although it was pretty darn packed, and some of the folks were a little the worse for drink, everybody behaved themselves and we were able to enjoy the band.
Freeway played a fine selection of classic rock covers; Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, UFO, Queen, Free, Bad Co., a medley of Deep Purple, etc. The performance was tight with the band members playing really well. In what has become something of a set-piece in their act, Livvy Sparnenn, daughter of drummer Howard, and front femme of Breathing Space, stepped up to the mic to deliver the vocals for a ZZ Top track and Led Zep’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll”, which also featured dad Howard in a drum solo. Top stuff, and highly recommended. Oh, and Mostly was there, well, Hardly.
Here's Livvy in action with Breathing Space.....
