I have just spent a very pleasant afternoon in a little village in Wiltshire listening to some great live music and enjoying one of the finest afternoon teas I've had in a very long time!
You will recall in a previous thread our recent "find" in the shape of Silvia from Germany and her duo partner Kevin who together form "Astral Plane" and have recently joined our happy band. As you may have seen they were playing a gig in Kevin's village hall today so I went along to see them although I did feel a bit like the stranger from out of town but was made very welcome.
They played an eclectic (I do love that word) mix of music including several Shad classics superbly played and they have a very full sound. I think Silvia has a full orchestra hidden inside that Yamaha keyboard! The set included several German numbers that had people clapping and swaying in true Bavarian style! Both are masters of their instruments and every number was superbly played but highspots for me were Silvia's "Orange Blossom Special" and Kevin's "Guitar Boogie Shuffle". He also plays a mean blues!
If you get the chance to see them play you won't be disappointed and especially if it's in Neston and afternoon tea's on offer
