Graham Knight Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have just been to Captain Tom's to see The Malpaso Gang. Nina is back as the main vocalist/dancer and she harmonises well with Aberdeen Music's Dead Pool Leader - Bigsby aka Mr 49 guitars. Tonight the Gang performed a whole set of original numbers - numbers that were inspired by the sound of 40's and 50's country. For example one number was inspired by The Miller Sisters a duo who recorded for the famed Sun Record Company of Memphis but failed to make it while label compatriots like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Charlie Rich all went on to fame and fortune. It was my first visit to Captain Tom's and I must say I was very impressed by all the facilities - especially the sound proofing and the hot chocolate was excellent. It was a very good night. Well done to the whole Gang and to everyone at the venue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 The Malpasos were ace. Great songs, but more importantly they certainly raised the sartorial stakes. Go see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Great night! The Lorelei and Colin Clyne were killer- and the cosy confines of the venue were exploited brilliantly, I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
