Why does it feel like night today?/Something in here’s not right today

Storm with someone's missus lending a hand on vocals

Friday 14 March – Here we are, stuck on the horns of a dilemma. Both the Bath and Terrace have covers bands playing, and the write up for both is good. We toss a coin. The Roman Bath it is, to see Storm. Sorry Fifty-50, catch you next time.

Storm are an 4-piece from Huddersfield. Ian plays keyboards (Korg N364) and took over fronting the band in 2001. Aden is the guitarist/secondary vocalist; he joined the band in 2003. Nelly joined recently and bangs the drums. Rick has played bass since 2007.

The boys played a great set including, but not only: AC/DC (Whole Lotta Rosie), Van Halen (Jump), The Jam (Town Called Malice), The Darkness (I believe in a thing called love), Prince (Purple Rain), The Who (Won’t Get Fooled Again), Bryan Adams (Summer of ’69), Thin Lizzy (The Boys Are Back In Town),The Undertones (Teenage Kicks), U2 (Where The Streets Have No Name), Wilson Pickett/The Commitments (Mustang Sally), Chuck Berry (Johnny B Goode), Bon Jovi (Bed of Roses) Buzzcocks (Ever Fallen in Love). Plus a whole host of other tunes done as medley’s.

Its easy to forget what a great night out can be had at the Bath: good music, efficient bar-staff, excellent beer, and no entrance charge.

Saturday 15 March – Do you like Johnny Cash? I think most people have heard at least a few of his songs, and I’m pretty sure that hardly anyone could object to a hour and a half listening to his music. Hence we end up in Fibbers to see Hull band Keep It Cash who delivered a brilliant collection of songs from the Man In Black: Jackson, Boy Named Sue, One Piece At A Time, Orange Blossom Special, San Quentin, I Walk The Line, Ring Of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues, This Thing Called Love, Never Picked Cotton, The Tennessee Mare and, of course, Man In Black. Well, that’s the ones I recognised/remembered. The band consist of Dave Burnham on vocals and rhythm guitar, Ted Kay on lead guitar, Andy who plays upright and electric bass, and Steve on drums.
