Super night at the Racehorse on Saturday. I opened things up with an acoustic set that verged on the
boisterous (for me) and concluded with a certain amount of breakage. Curtis appeared with the full
Escalation/StevieGeeDees band and they were on great form, having played the previous night at the Lovelight
Romania benefit up in Kingsthorpe. The Rev. D. Wayne Love (for it was he) joined them for a rendition of
Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London which had all the Usual Suspects howling and bellowing like good 'uns
before the Sensational Andy Harwood Band (as I now insist on calling them) banged out a rousing set of
originals and well-chosen sixties cover tunes, ably assisted by Susana Figueira singing her heart out.
Splendid stuff, all magisterially (if abusively) compered by the Reverend Love. Special credit to Curtis and
Steves Gordon and Davies for the ridiculous amount of work they put in to make the event happen.
That set list in full: Blue Flower (by Slapp Happy) - Quality People - Old Snakey - Shirley Maclaine - Sister Death.
If you still don't have a copy of the album that this night was supporting, waste no time in logging on at
www.nowthatswhaticallnorthampton.com to secure your copy. Hand-tooled in selected petrolium by-products,
these handsome volumes of 21st century provincial beat music make an ideal festive gift for your loved ones
at this special time of year.
Here's some more pics. Like the others, they were taken by TV's Paul Blinkhorn.
