Jayney Wright’s Off Road – Strawberry Moon at the Jaz Bar

This is the third time I’ve seen Strawberry Moon in quick succession and they just get better and better. There is a versatility there which is evident in the range of instruments used. I thought they were getting close to the Incredible String Band – what with guitar, tambourine, mbira, bouzouki, harmonica and that box drum. The vocals gel great. Kathy augments it well and Jeff and Des really put together a great set of songs. I’m looking forward to the CD!! That single from Des about Hull – We Sail Castles – should be the song of Hull’s Year of Culture.

 

They finished off a great night.

Strawberry Moon at O’Rileys in Hull – Photos and Review

Strawberry Moon gave a fabulous performance At O’Riley’s! They are a small acoustic band with a great set of songs and a great sound. The sound is Psychedelic Folk and at times I found myself comparing it to Richard and Mimi Farina. Thoughtful and thoroughly absorbing with blended vocals, the box drum, a bit of marimba, harmonica and squeezebox and some great guitar.

If you weren’t there you missed something.
