BOSCAWEN PARK, TRURO (6TH AUGUST)
ANDREW BATE
Strolling onto the other stage, acoustic guitar in hand, Andrew Bate cut a lonely figure until he got to the mic and began his unfairly short performance of haunting original classics. A young man blessed with such a voice and songwriting ability is destined to make his mark on the music world`s larger stage, (not to mention those pin-up good looks...oh yeah I wasn`t gonna mention them, sorry ladies!). It is such a privilege to hear this local talent at this stage in his career, because undoubtably it won`t be long before you`ll have to pay handsomely to hear Andrew Bate perform.
His vocals and songwriting have been compared to Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley for their quality, but I also heard touches of Ryan Adams and Ron Sexsmith in there. So when he ended on a stunning version of The MC5`s `Kick out the Jams` by throwing his guitar to the floor and stalking off stage before the audience knew what had happened, I was surrounded by wildly enthused and excited fans new and old.
Stunning!

I am the Transport Manager for the MMC Group who supplied the two trucks and curtainside trailers for the event, and good friends of Stevie and Fleet. We would all like to thank all who attended, and will see you next year for it to be bigger and better to raise money for a worthy cause in Cornwall. Got to say thought Andrew Bate was the best in my opinion.
Cheers Steve - it was a great day!
As the MMC Group now own Bodmin Blocks Ltd and Aggregates & Minerals Ltd. Just wondered if you had any photos you could forward showing the trucks as stages to put on our own website for PR. If you can help, our e-mail address is: info_mmcgroup@btconnect.com
Thanks,
Steve
