At the risk of becoming repetitive, it was yet another truly great night at the Bronte Blues Club. The headline act was The Ramon Goose Band, a trio which, although based in Essex, includes Hungarian wizard bassist Akos Hasznos. The line-up, a relatively new version of the band, is completed by Paul Francis on drums. They were fantastic. The accoustic-electric mix gave a set which had great variety and also allowed for a quiet start, gradually building to a wonderfully rhythmic version of In My Father’s House to complete the first set. I would certainly love to see them again and would recommend you do the same. Support act BBC5, due to enter the recording studio on Sunday, reached new heights. They really are becoming a tight outfit. As singer and recent sextaganarian Michael Ford (I take it back Michael - your singing is much better without the cold) mentioned, the band now spans five decades. They are living proof that the generation gap is a myth, in Laycock at least. Long-time members have been somewhat bemused of late at the audience’s early arrival. Could it be they want to make sure they catch the house band?
