Friday 17 July - following last week's brilliant weekend of music, it's back down to earth with a bump. There is just one glimmer of sunshine though, The Blueflies playing at The Roman Bath.
We've seen them before, but no matter, they're a very competent covers band, and apparently very cheap. A York-based three-piece consisting of Miles Gilderdyke on guitar and vocal, Gavin Ewing on bass guitar, and Trevor "Fatha" King on drums and backing vocals, t'Flies are adept at classic rock covers by the likes of Free, Cream and Hendrix.
If they have a fault, its Miles constantly teasing Fatha, poor chap. Anyway, the John Smith's was excellent and we were treated to songs such as: Lieber/Stoller Riot In Cell Block Number Nine, The Kinks You Really Got Me, ZZ Top Gimme All Your Lovin', Hendrix Voodoo Chile and Foxy Lady, Chuck Berry Route 66, Al Green Take Me To The River, Joe Tex Show Me A Man, Free The Hunter, Led Zep Whole Lotta Love, plus many more. Highly recommended.
