THE ACORN, PENZANCE (7TH JULY)

RUARRI JOSEPH ALBUM LAUNCH

(Review by William Gregg)

The doors opened at 7 30pm but there was very little happening until 8 ish when eventually the crowd started to build. Opening the night was the Hitchcock Rules front man Ryan with drummer in tow...doing a bit on the military grade bongo...was very camo styled, pretty!

Anywho the gig got under way with Ryan winning the crowds applause and taking their attention almost immediatly. It was a great atmosphere for the gig with plenty of all round support for the music. Ryans set flowed together setting the mood for the Ruarri to take over.

And takeover is most certainly what he did all it needed was for him to walk on stage and the applause rang out straight away. Opening with a couple of solo numbers Ruarri really didn't hold back, showing just why he was signed in the first place.

As his new backing band came out on stage things started to leave the quiet ambience of one man at a campfire and settle into a strong four piece at a fireworks display. The solid backing only increased Ruarri's passionate and emotion filled songs. Nothing more amazing than someone who enjoys what the know and knows what they are talking about. Genius

Finishing with a couple of solo numbers and a big finale ending in cupcakes for all that could get their grubby mits on them it was certainly an evening to remember.......

And I got a free t-shirt and CD, back of the net!
