Layla Zoe – Nowhere Left To Go (Layla Zoe Music)

by

0

Layla Zoe certainly didn’t make it easy for herself. 2018’s superb double-disc ‘Gemini’ seemed to say everything that could be said and in the best way possible. It was electric, it was Blues, Funk, Gospel and Rock. It was the sum of all the releases before it. The subsequent ‘Retrospective Tour’ and disc suggested a watershed moment had been reached. Did it also leave the self-proclaimed firegirl literally with ‘Nowhere Left To Go’? – is this perhaps the aptest album title ever penned? Well, no, as it thankfully turns out. Whilst NLTG doesn’t re-invent the wheel as far as Layla’s music is concerned it is, thanks to plenty of new faces behind the songs, still a fresh as well as a strong statement from the heart. It also still showcases the lady’s amazing voice with that trademark emotional intensity that is the secret of Layla Zoe’s success.

In the hope that there is a tunnel. and we will see the light at the end of it soon…  On 1 July next year Deep Purple will be joined by some very special guests at Kunstrasen.

The Allman Betts Band features Devon,  the son of Allman Brothers frontman Greg Allman (already a visitor to Bonn Harmonie in the past),  paired up with Duane Betts, son of original Allman’s guitarist Dickey Betts.  Onboard too is Berry Duane Oakley, son of the Allman Brothers Band’s founding late bassist, Berry Oakley.  The band is still pretty fresh out of the blocks  but word is that they are chips off of their respective musical family blocks.  Judge for yourself from this video.

Folk Club Bonn – On Tour

A year ago I could not have imagined writing the words ‘Folk Club Bonn’ and ‘Harmonie’ in the same sentence. Even sitting down with co-owner of the venue Kolli to discuss a possible show there recently was surreal. Here it is then – the sentence in cold black and white for perpetuity: “Folk Club Bonn on Tour from the Harmonie“.

Jolly Hockey Sticks – Folk Club Woodstock Edition

So, ladies and gentlemen, who was that masked man behind the microphone on the hockey pitch stage on Friday at Dotty’s?   One thing is for sure, it wasn’t the Lone Ranger, or Batman either for that matter.  A Superhero was not required.  No one needed rescuing on this 114th edition of Folk Club Bonn.  Or was it the 2nd edition of Folk Club Bonn Lite?  Historians are feverishly working on this conundrum as I write.  They will be in agreement at any rate that it was a relatively warm breeze which blew across the Hockey Pitch and that when raindrops did fall occasionally, they were generally warm, soft and far between each other.  Much better in fact than an evening pre-named ‘Woodstock Revisited’ had any right to wish for.  Again, I say unto you: God is a Folk Club fan.
