Rachael Wright - De Bees - Winsford - 11/10/2006

A trip out to Winsford to catch one of Gilly's MySpace friends - Rachael Wright fronts a trio consisting of herself on vocals and guitar, Tim Wright on guitar and Bob Burton on electric bass. The two acoustic guitars sound sweet together, with Burton's bass used sparsely - Rachael has a voice that seems somehow familiar, strong certainly. Opening with "Honey" and moving on to "Storm in my Heart" where we find Rachael's voice soaring and reminiscent of Mindy Smith, and Tim providing intimate guitar backing. The crowd was growing steadily now as the music gathered people away from the football on the many TV screens in the bar, and they were treated to some beautiful music, the twin guitars, both picked on "Tall Ships", Bob's surprise use of a tiny xylophone adding occasional sparkle behind.

A short but sweet set, we particularly enjoyed a new song: "Loosing Hand" which has definate potential, the trio are deservingly picking up lots of gigs, not just locally, but all across the country.
