JFK Blue Live Gig - Tuesday Night Music Club

It’s always difficult to follow such a well received set - it’s almost as if the gauntlet has been thrown down. But follow it JFK Blue did and with some style as they tore through numbers from their debut album, ‘Rough Round The Edges’ and some new songs.

This was, it seemed, a band on a mission. Ably fronted by on guitars and vocals the pace was frantic from the off but amazingly just built and built. Sol Ezra and Leslie Fleischman held down the back line with Sol also contributing backing vocals from the drum stool.

And then there was Iago Banet who’s guitar can only be described as ‘passionate’. Hammering riffs out one moment and then playing the most delicate of lead lines the next he had more than a few jaws dropping around the room. With the frantic pace they set there really was no time for chat or introductions between songs - as one finished they were all ready to launch into the next. It was all over before we had a chance to grab a breath… and once again that queue at the merch stand grew…
