Movie recorded at a concert in Uden, Holland, in March 2009.
Mostly Autumn is a British band, producing music heavily influenced by classic 70s rock. The group formed in 1996, and have built their reputation through constant touring, never signing to a major label. The group's early influences were Genesis and Pink Floyd, and folk music. Later albums have also included more contemporary influences.
Carpe Diem" is a track from the Bands 'Storms Over Still Water' Album " and reflects on the Tsunami disaster. Lead/solo guitar comes from founder member Bryan Josh with soaring vocals from Olivia Sparnenn.
Personal Note : Great gig and it's perhaps worth noting that Olivia Sparnenn is not even the bands main singer - that honour goes to Heather Findlay who unfortunately had to miss this particular concert.
There is often some lively debate about the quality of the bands singers - much as I love Heather and can't ever imagine Mostly Autumn without her ... all I can say is after a performance like the one Olivia gave in Uden, she is perhaps 'under-used' in her role as main backing singer ... but as I say, can't imagine Mostly Autumn without Heather!

Movie recorded at a concert in Cardiff, South Wales in October 2009.
Gary Moore (born Robert William Gary Moore, 4 April 1952, Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a Northern Irish guitarist and singer. In a career dating back to the 1960s, Moore has played with artists including Thin Lizzy, B.B. King, Colosseum II, Greg Lake and the blues-rock band Skid Row, as well as having a successful solo career.
Of the two songs featured, the first : "All my Love" : is a slow blues track with some fantastic solo work towards the end. The second song "Walking by Myself" has a faster tempo with again, more great solo playing from Gary.
Personal Note : Being right down the front I found myself directly in line with the main Stage Amps ... and got absolutely *blasted* by the lead guitar in a truly terrifying but equally wonderful way, lol!

Movie recorded at a concert in Pontypridd, South Wales in November 2009.
Magnum are a British Melodic Rock band from Birmingham, England. They have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of vocalist Bob Catley and guitarist/songwriter Tony Clarkin remain today.
"Vigilante" is not just one of my favourite Magnum songs but one of my all time favourite Rock Songs.
It was one of the tracks from the Album of the same name and comes from perhaps their most commercially successful period of their career, i.e. mid 1980's.
"Les Mort Dansant" if from their fifth studio album : 'On a Storyteller's Night', released in 1985 on FM Records. The album is widely considered as Magnum's breakthrough album. This is one of Tony Clarkin's most thoughtful songs, painting a picture of a man about to be executed by a firing squad.
Personal Note - Great Gig in a small venue that allowed me to get right up close to the front. Tony Clarkin is probably one of the least flamboyant lead guitarists I can think of ... but that doesn't matter when you play as well as he does.

Movie recorded at a concert in Drogheda, Ireland in October 2009.
GoGoshKa Kinkladze was born in Tbilisi Georgia and studied piano at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire. In 1996 she moved to Ireland where she now lives and plays her music.
Billed as "The GoGoshka.K Piano Sound and Vision Show", the concert I went to was a lovely mix of many different styles of piano music, from classically inspired pieces {like Croatian Rhapsody} to some lively up-tempo Boogie Woogie Standards {like the Swanee River Boogie}.
Throw in a top-notch band for some of the pieces and also some great dancing from a young local troupe {Kidkast Dance School in Drogheda} and I have to say the whole show made for a delightful and entertaining evening out!

Movie recorded at a concert in Cardiff, October 2009.
Alesha Anjanette Dixon is a British pop/R&B singer-songwriter, dancer, model and television personality.
Both songs featured on this movie come from the Album "The Alesha Show", which was released in the UK in November 2008. The official first single from the album, "The Boy Does Nothing" became her first solo top ten hit on the UK Singles Chart, eventually peaking at number 5. The song also fared well in continental Europe and the Australian Singles Chart.
The second single from The Alesha Show was "Breathe Slow". The single rose for three weeks before breaking into the top ten at number six giving Dixon her second top ten hit in the UK from downloads alone, and eventually peaked at number 3 on the Top 40 UK Charts.

A Groningen collection of musicians from Turkey, Romania, Senegal and Middelstum. Groningen roots is what Grunroots are about. Music from afar, but then again also from around the corner. A tasteful mix of world music and jazz by Turkish multi- instrumentalist and singer Behsat Uvez, Romanian saxophonist Alex Simu, Dutchman Bert van Erk on double bass and Senegalese percussionist Moussé Pathé M'Baye. Grunroots started out at a session one evening in the Groningen Grand Theatre, almost three years ago. Ud player Haytham Safia also took part, but he's already playing with his own quartet in Adorp.
