A highly enjoyable hour and a bit of music from local band Blueflint, who I reviewed earlier this year. With a good mix of slow and up tempo material and some lovely arrangements they remain an excellent live act. The two vocalists were on great form and the musicianship was polished. There was one change to the line up from the Voodoo Rooms, with Clare's brother Roddy, a skillful and visually entertaining performer, providing some great fiddle and a bit of guitar.
As in April the band came out into the auditorium to perform an unplugged number. Having to align themselves down one staircase, and unable to actual get into the closely packed crowd, may have made it less successful this time. It was hard for me to tell as I had the best seat in the house with Debs, on lead vocal, just two metres away so it all sounded fine from where I was! (But apologies for almost ruining the moment with my hard-to-silence coughing fit....)
One of Edinburgh's finest.
Blueflint were performing for one night only.
