Live Gig Review - The Brand New Heavies and the King's Hall, Herne Bay

It's always amazing when a band you've grown up with
make an appearance in a place you've grown up in.


And the Brand New Heavies definitely made the most 

of their stop-off at Herne Bay even taking time to "Spend Some Time"
by the seafront, devouring fish and chips.

It must have been the ideal fuel for an amazing live set 
which commenced with a couple of old favourites including "Back To Love" and "Sometimes".



All the members were on great form including Jan Kincaid, 
a rare-breed of drummer/vocalist.


Simon Bartholemew on guitar, who resulted in me screaming 
"Turn it up to 11!" (Sorry Simon)


And performing lead vocals, Dawn Joseph,
with not just an amazing voice, but a great set of outfits.






Where on earth did the time go?

As well as old favourites such as "Stay This Way", and "Midnight At The Oasis", 
we were also treated to live renditions from the new album
"Forward" including the singles "Sunlight" and "Addicted".


Like the Omar gig I was at last week, they've proven that it's
been worth the 7 year wait, and have come back with a belter.

The encore was my personal highlight, made up of two BNH
belters, "You Are The Universe" and the amazing "Dream Come True".

Overall the night provided a great crowd, fantastic musicianship,

and no sign of a drop in energy.
