I’d heard Billy’s c.d. and was impressed by his flavour of country music to give it a name. What I wasn’t prepared for was a tight, four piece band of superb musicians who gave us an entertaining evening full of energy and some great original music. I heard the remark that Billy was, “ a bit of a rooster strutting his stuff “. He has the right and I believe payed his dues.
A down to earth kind of guy whose love of playing shuffled on around to the Criterion until 3.am for an accoustic jam of guitars, harp and piano. Billy returns to the club in late March 2009 and if you missed him this time put that date in your calendar.
He brought with him The Eastern for openers who will be supporting Bic Runga at the wine and cheese do in February. A great choice of support band. Due to the initial low attendance Adam came down onto the floor and performed without the p.a. to an enthralled group of people with some great roots music.
