Mostly Autumn. Normally I try to attend all the Dutch shows, but if you've a family sometimes you've to choose for them, so I skipped the P60 gig… family business is important. Blue sky, a sun brightly and warm, so what could go wrong? From the Judge, the guitar technician, I heard that the gig yesterday in P60 was one of the best ever "… the band is on fire..". But he didn't told me what happened this morning… The intro of "Heart Full of Sky" filled the venue and the band came on stage, Iain Jennings, Ann-Marie-Helder, Liam Davison, Gavin Harisson, Olivia Sparnenn, Andy Smith, Bryan Josh and… "?!?" no Heather Findlay… mmm some people noticed it, some not… The first 2 songs Olivia, who did the lead vocals, was searching, her voice grew, Dave the sound engineer did a marvelous job. The sound was really superb… scad quality. And Bryan explained that Heather took a plane back to home; family business. Yep that can happen. And although Heather has her charisma and is together with Bryan the face of Mostly my personal feeling was; "Okay we write history tonight, give them a chance". And yes they took the change, Bryan was indeed in flames, solo's as diamonds came out his strat. And the band was there, working hard, maybe they had the urge to compensate the absence of Heather, I don't know, but yeah there was an extra vibe on stage and the sound was indeed absolute in Saints. Brilliant, and did I mention that Bryan was giving a way solo's from a un-earthly quality? That guy Rock. So yes I missed Heather, her looks, her warm voice, but yes I had a great gig and I wouldn't want to have missed it. De nieuwe Nor wrote history with an enthiosiatic crowd and a band that survived so easily. "Turn it On again", was their last encore a cover from a band that lost their face and voice and even went bigger after that, this is not the case with Mostly, Heather will return, sometimes family business are more important… please turn it on again! Saturday; Olivia was more convidence, she just kicked asses from the start... Tears in my eyes with "Pocket Watch" ... shine on you crazy diamond. Did i mentioned that the band was in flames? The whole band including the crowd? Did i mentioned that BJ was indeed a better looking Jon Bon Bovie, with the looks of Jon Davie Gilmour (in his early days) and the fingers of Mr. Blackmore? Yes he was fab ... they all were.. What more to say about the gig; soaring guitars, a lot (also from the quite genius Liam), loaded drums, subtile keyboards and that pretty looking dreamish flute from Ann Marie that carry your emotions to a higher level. And our dear Livvy gave some people really the shivers with her cristal clear voice. Certainly during her guitar duel with her love at "Never the Rainbow". Happely they had plastic cans instead of glasses, else a lot of them would be broken. The band got some emotional points, during Evergreen, Heroes and Tearing the Fairytaele, and the crowd loved it. Bryan announced the band during a slow intro of Turn it on Again (a cover from Genesis), the band peaked the audience was singing a long and the party was over.
