Okay so I had never heard anything by any of these guys, so for a tenner on the door I was hoping for something good. But I didn't get anything good. Good doesn't even do justice to these three guys. They are musicians like fallen angels!!!
Joseph & David

So opening the show at the lovely little Deaf Institute on Oxford Road was the magical duo Joseph & David, accompanied by wonderful vocal, guitar, banjo and piano skills. The audience fell in love instantly with Josephs flowery fingerwork and Davids charming voice. It was so powerful he didn't even need a microphone. It's people like these two, simply with skill and no demand for an electrical invasion who are re-instating to the world what real music is and where it comes from. Their CD, 'No Short of Time' has the songs from the gig, including one called 'Show Me', which nearly made me cry when they played it, it's so lovely!!! It's definately worth getting your hands on one, 5 songs beautifully crafted, some even with violins! :) perfection. And also David has really happy eyes when he performs. I definately reccomend you to see them live!! Buy their CD!! And follow this link! ----> http://www.myspace.com/josephanddavidmusic

Following the excellent opening act, was a gift given to the world, who goes by the name Benjamin Francis Lefwhich. Not only does this guy have a pretty fucking amazing name, HE IS AMAZING TOO! You could see every single person in the audience falling more and more in love with him as the set went on. He could literally have been singing the alphabet and have moved people. His beautiful voice made my ears so happy, not to mention how naturally his fingers sailed along the frets of his three equally blessed guitars. The moment he completely disconnected himself from the amps and the microphones, just sang and played, was as if we were all sat with him in his living room or something, following him on his journey through song so intimately. Nothing but one man, his guitar, and a room full of magical sound particles, enchanting everyone there. It was just brilliant. What I liked best was the imagery in the lyrics of what he writes and I will definately be buying his CD, 'Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm' available for pre-order now on ITunes (expected to be realeased in early july) for £7.99, and pursuing him further on www.myspace.com/benjaminfrancisleftwich AND YOU SHOULD TOO!!!!!!!!
