Sunday night I was fortunate to see the fabulous Sadie & the Hotheads at St Georges in Bristol.
Touring their album, How Not To Lose Things across the UK, this was the final date of the first leg of the tour.
A mix of blues, country, folk, acoustic, rock n roll and everything in between, Sadie & the Hotheads is fronted by actress Elizabeth McGovern, who many of you may recognise from Downton Abbey.
McGovern sings lead vocals and plays acoustic guitar, with Simon Nelson (guitar/vocals,) Steve Nelson (bouzouki/vocals,) Ron Knights (bass,) Nick Lacey (piano,) Terl Bryant (drums,) and Philly Lopez (backing vocals.)
The band opened with One Thing Leads to Another (
watch a live performance here,) and performed tracks from the HNTLT album which was released in October 2012.
Highlights for me were the Cow Song and Small Tasks, two of my favourites off the album. The sound was immense in an intimate venue, and it was fantastic to see such a great band perform live. It was also great to hear the background story to some of the songs, as well as Elizabeth's simple message- be happy.
If you're quick you can purchase tickets for the two remaining gigs- Sunday 17th February at Union Chapel, London and Monday 18th February at The Stables, Milton Keynes. For more information on these shows and to purchase tickets
