Just got back from seeing Red Sky July at the Little Rabbit Barn. What a night! It was not just them, first of all, there was a young lady called Rafferty McKelvey who was supported by her brother and they ended with a brilliant version of Mr Brightside.After this, there was a group called Jakob Deist. It was the lead singer, Jakob Deist who was supported by a bloke with a funky box and a guitarist.Needless to say, I loved it. I will have to admit that the first two were great live, I am not sure how good it will be to listen to both when they are not singing in front of me. What is a shame is that Rafferty McKelvey has not got any of her original stuff uploaded on YouTube at the time of posting, or has a CD. Apparently it is a work in progress and based on what I heard live, it is a work worth waiting for.
The great thing about listening to music live at the Little Rabbit Barn is that is only has seats for about 60 people, which means that you are up close to the performers and this is brilliant. Live music is great, but being in a venue like this is even better. My wife does not want too many people to know about this as she would like to go back there again, a view I have to say I agree with. She is on a high from talking to the three members, Shelly Poole (from Alisha's Attic), Ally McErlaine (from Texas) and Charity Hair from The Alice Band. So thanks to the Little Rabbit Barn, the three members Red Sky July and of course Rafferty McKelvey and Jakob Deist for a great night.
