outroads

outroads - original blues rooted folk/rock band 'their raucous edge is offset against the sad soft tones of harmonica and violin; this could truly be ‘twenty first century blues’” jo.w, radio1 ‘the sound of the deep south from up north, combining the warm glow of bourbon with the sharp kick of tequila. edgy, melodic, they define new retro. gorge your senses with the lush contemporary soundscapes and atmosphere of outroads.” A.Needham, The pretenders

Christmas Party!

Where were you???!!! No matter, the place was packed, and rightly so. The four acts supporting Outroads at the Lescar were quality.
The gorgeous Sarah Jay (Massive Attack) with Dougie, Baby Long Legs winning everyone over with their bonkers, totally addictive and strangely moving music. Sean Mack braving the stage alone, belting out his acoustic gems. And warming up the night, Richard Weston and Rhian Walsh, experimenting with a really, really expensive guitar. Class.
Outroads were watching the clock a tad, but thanks to some last minute engineering (what a legend) and a more than up-for-it crowd, they managed to perform the songs we all want to hear. Lizz pulled out some corkers from her bag of tricks, and despite the muffin-spewing, the band were on form...teasing and spitting and grabbing your sensitive bits as only they know how.
Nobody left dissapointed. All senses were reached tonight by this diverse line-up. The crowd left fatter than thay arrived for sure.Nice one. Once again though, where the **** were you???!! Your loss : )
