Pretty busy here at the HMV Institute as we wait for the new emerging talent of Imelda May to appear on stage. Still lovin’ the HMV Institute as a venue - you can clearly see the stage wherever you stand. |

As Imelda May took to the stage, to maybe an unknowing audience, I was certain that she, if anyone, could win over such a dedicated fan base as Meat Loaf has. And she sure did just that. Giving her take on rockabilly to a packed house, hits such as Psycho and Mayhem rang out in triumph. |

Jeff Beck seems quite laid back and unassuming for a guitar god, but despite this and against the wealth of talent in his band, he cuts an imposing figure and you know that this is his show. Even the stage lay out seemed to emphasise this with bass drums and keyboards laid out in a rhythm section format very much to the right of the stage leaving a wide open space for the guitarist to exploit. |

The support act for tonight's gig is a local band called The Toy Hearts. They are essentially a family band who play a mixture of Bluegrass and Swing, and have a monthly residency at The Kitchen Garden Cafe in King's Heath. It isn't often that I enjoy a support act, but this is one of those rare events... |
