Hello/Is there anybody in there?/Just nod if you can hear me/Is there anyone home?

Saturday 29 March – How often do you hear a cover of Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb? Once in a blue moon I would have thought. But this weekend I’ve heard it twice, on consecutive nights. How bizarre. Anyway, Saturday night at The Roman Bath and we are here to listen to Mojo, a four piece Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll band from Leeds whose members are: Sam Hirst (lead guitar & vocals), Mark Barron (rhythm guitar & vocals), Col Challinor (bass & vocals), and Chris Allen (drums).The band were very tight, musically excellent, and the vocals were clear and strong. We throughly enjoyed this band and would heartly recommend them as a live act. I remembered some of the songs (I was drinking don’t forget): Muddy Waters (Got My Mojo Working, Hoochie Coochie Man), Larry Williams (Bony Moronie), Cream (Crossroads), Bobby Troup ((Get Your Kicks on) Route 66), Pink Floyd (Comfortably Numb), plus tracks by Rory Gallagher, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc that I’m ashamed to say I recognised, but couldn’t name. Not to be confused with a band called The Mojos.
