...was on locally last week, as martinrowe reminded me, and I couldn't go..so this isn't really a review at all!
Here are a couple of Youtube vids I discovered this morning that were taken at the concert, where local hot-shot guitarist Darren Hodge was duetting -
Very impressive of course, but two things struck me -
i) Darren's dreadful amplified tone, esp on flatpicked runs. Clive's pretty good plugged in tone whatever he's playing
ii) Clive's far greater sensitivity to dynamics and musicality - esp he knows when to ease off on his accomp volume to let Darren's lead parts sit up front.
No doubt that Darren would knock spots off most of us, but playing with Clive does show up some large gaps - I'm sure Darren will continue to grow as a player, esp when blokes like Clive (and TE) are generous enough to jam with them in live situations.
Wish I'd been able to attend! Did you get there in the end Martin?
