bubinga5 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Went to see the Brand New Heavies, Rita Satch and Tony Momrelle. Easily by a mile the best i saw was Tony Momrelle. Its possibly one of the best people/bands I've ever seen live. Quite astounding. the legend Julian Crampton was on bass. Tony Remy on guitar. I was sat with my sister in the Big Top and our mouths were agape when he sang on his own. sorry i couldn't find any footage of last night. Same band though. Anyone notice Paul Turner in the front at 2.12 he he. Ive to to say Julian Crampton is such a fantastic bass player.

RickyV Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 There seems to be less 'jazz' at Cheltenham each year. I didnt go this year as there was really nothing that grabbed my attention enough to make the journey from Suffolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was Marcus Miller. he wouldn't put up with a bad mix imo. obviously rehearsals in that space, he would have picked up on any bad sounds. WTF do i know about room acoustics. not a lot. but my ears tell me there is too much air for the noise to flow around.

Chrismanbass Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 actually Marcus uses his own engineer not the festivals as does Tony Momrelle they don't rehearse in the space before the gig (its not practical in reality they don't even get a soundcheck in a festival situation) to be honest the artists on stage have absolutely no control over the mix thats why they bring their own engineers with them people they trust to mix the gig well rather than the in house engineer who's seen a lot of different artists over a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That guy, and that band, really bring it (whatever that means). Seriously, I would be well chuffed with myself if I was part of a band that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornagainbass65 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I was there too - and it was a fantastic gig. Tony Momrelle smashed it (as the young folks say), and the whole band were excellent. The song that Tony did with just piano accompaniment was an absolute show-stopper. I took my 15 year old son, who hasn't been to many gigs yet, and now he has extremely high expectations! We were sat in the raised seats just behind the sound desk, centre right. The sound was great, although once or twice I thought Tony's voice had a smidge more reverb on it than it needed - although this may have been to do with the venue. I would also have taken the snare down a little, but that's just personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
