The Red Bullets
3 piece chart music band

at The Spinning Wheel

The Red Bullets often go out as a three piece, Pete on lead vocals and piano, John on bass and Mark on drums and backing vocals, something which developed from an experiment during a tour of the West Country in 2010. This has become yet another dimension for the band, in addition to the 4 and 5 piece performances and Pete’s solo performances and intimate shows with a string quartet (these are few and far between and well worth looking out for).

The Red Bullets have a strong, loyal following who are the backbone of the band’s existence, and it is this that allows this energetic, fun and committed band of musicians to continue to grow and evolve.

Last weeks guests

So it was the week of the man flu show last week where we had the pleasure of meeting the new singer of Secrets For September & the absolute bonkers Mike Porter Collective .
If you didn't catch it because your were watching the Voice on bbc 1 then never fear the podcast is here via the face book show page!
Next week..man flu or no man flu that's the question??????

Album Review

The Con -Sorrow Street

A band that may sound familiar.
Four guys wearing their mod , Paul Weller & The Jam influences on their sleeves. Delivering songs, all clocking in at under 3,5 minutes & sounding like a karaoke house band with your record collection in toe.
Who cares?
Well you should because what sets these four guys apart is a song craft beyond the obvious .
Delivered in a simple Cd ,understated paper sleeve .A black & white picture on the front .with only the track listing for information.
This is an album that sounds like the past, but somehow feels very current.
Against the back drop of an economy in free fall, & anyone under 25 feeling neglected , unemployed and angry will connect with these snarling straight talking tunes .
Sorrow Street, Last Gang in town , Sound Of Guns & Riot kids( recorded before last summers troubles ) say it all with a confident excitable swagger that's not to be unheard.
The only negative is that sometimes it sails a little to close to the past.
But some may say that the mess & state of the world at present ,has a direct whiff of 1979 about it , so who can blame them.
If your life's a mess. It's gone to the dogs at best ! As The Con would say

Becky Brine Single review

From out of the shadows & free from the limitations of a covers club singer steps Becky Brine.
Her first single Girl in a Bag is a joyous romp of musical styles that ultimately is her own sound. Many years of singing live has paid its dues.Her voice is timely , strong and on the money. Want something different maybe even a bit quirky then this is for you .
( Jackson Cooper Riviera FM)
