Sticky Fingers rockin The Turbinia

GigPit Review - '1st set blasted off with- Judas Priest's 'Metal Gods' - . UFO classic 'Lights Out' followed and by now the Stickies are going full steam, rocking out good and hard. There is only one word for Phil's guitar playing on this track - awesome! Drop in Van Halen's 'Lets Talk About Love' followed by a huge guitar solo spot that led into Satriani's 'Surfing With The Alien' and 'Breaking The Law' for a bit more Priest and you have the makings of a great first set.
Second set opened with a Zeppelin medley of 'Communication Breakdown', 'Rock N Roll' and 'Whole Lotta Love' and it was here that the sheer volume and thump of Keith Moore's bass drum really made it's impact. I don't think I have ever heard as loud a kick anywhere. Blending nicely with Phil's Finley's bass, this is a good rhythm section for Phil Martin to build upon. Fronting a band like Sticky Fingers is no easy job, especially considering the length of time they have been around and the following they have built up but Mark Evans looks so relaxed on stage you feel he was born there Moving bassman Phil take center stage to sing 'Teenage Kicks' really worked and when Mark returned to close out the set with 'Enter Sandman' and a bouncy 'Anarchy In The UK' the audience took their voices through the roof and there now followed one of the loudest chants of "MORE! MORE!" I have ever heard and after jokingly starting 'Blaydon Races' the encore of 'Whole Lotta Rosie', 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and 'Paranoid' received a level of applause that sent any remaining roof tiles spinning off into space.
The summation of this thoroughly enjoyable night is simple : If you want your pub packed out with punters singing their heads off with a beer in their hand and a song in their heart, book Sticky Fingers.'
