Mundell Music Gigs and Live Music Events
Thursday 25 February 2010 - FIFESTOCK - Steve Daggett
Wonderful Singer Songwriter.....Has to be seen live (Ex Lindisfarne)
Excert from live review
Steve opened in typical style with 4 acoustic songs, 3 from his CD 'Troubadour Territory' and one new song 'Pretty Useless' which quietened the ever-growing audience. His band then joined him for 2 rousing versions of album tracks 'New skin' and 'This time of year' followed by the laid back Dylanish 'Just to see you smile'. The punters quickly got behind the new line-up of Phil Armstrong on guitar, Steve Martin on fretless bass and Jeff Armstrong on drums. Daggett told us the band had only a couple of rehearsals - but we wouldn't have guessed. They were tight and together and it was obvious they were enjoying themselves tonight. Still more people arrived, squeezing into the already packed bar while Daggett grabbed the gig by the scruff of the neck and gave it his all, belting out a good mix of old and new material. A cover of Waylon Jennings' 'Are you sure Hank done it this way?' finished the first set, by which time the band were really rocking and the sweat, enthusiasm and beer flowed.
After a short break Daggett gave us 3 Alan Hull songs followed by his own 'Mandolin Moon'. Six years to the day since Hull's death, the song really does justice to both songwriters. Then we were back with what they had all come to see - Daggett swapping his acoustic for a stratocaster and letting his hair down, literally. They finished with a great version of Neil Young's epic 'Cowgirl in the sand' to huge applause and appreciation.
