Herb Diamante
flew in from Ulverston via Shetland especially. Herb's act is an unusual mix
of retro British 'Casino Royale' style lounge oddities with warped electronic
backing tracks. In his stunning outfit Herb oozes suave with a classic crooning
voice reminiscent of Bryan Ferry. Imagine Marc Almond on acid.The audience was stunned.
The Birds of Prestwich gave us a superb collection of tunes about such things as Botox, delivered in a Fall-esque fashion. A ramshackle yet compelling sound featuring the unmistakable drumming style of Peter Wankowicz AKA Chilliman.
The BOPs now have a website: www.birdsofprestwich.com
Well, this is actually Matt playing drums; they swapped instruments quite a lot.
