Brighton Acoustic Session

Subject: Brighton Acoustic Session
From: GUEST,Stuart Reed
Date: 04 Apr 10 - 08:21 AM

The featured guests tomorrow (April 5th)at The Lord Nelson in Brighton are Porchlight Smoker.
We saw an absolutely knockout set from these guys recently - best live gig we've seen this year. By turns raucous and reflective, their passion and enthusiasm was infectious, judging by the audience response.

They describe themselves modestly as an unrehearsed jug band but in the four years they have been together they have developed an intuitive rapport so that they now swap lead instruments, vocals and harmonies with effortless elan.

Gillian Welch, John Prine, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Blondie, Steve Earle, The Cure, Hank Williams and the Carter Family are all part of their repertoire and, together with some riveting songs of their own,
they have taken the bluegrass and old timey sound to a new place.
