[Harp-L] Harp L: Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes

[Paul Routledge <kingley@xxxxxxx>]

I went to see Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes in Southport last night.
I was looking forward to the gig as I haven't seen the band in almost  
ten years.

As usual Paul Lamb was excellent and the band were really tight and  
highly polished.

Pauls son Ryan Lamb is now on lead guitar and was very impressive and  
is an excellent replacement for the highly talented Johnny Whitehill  
who used to hold that seat.

Chad Strenz as always sang his heart out, and boy can he sing!  
Watching Chad sing is like a vocal masterclass. His goes from a  
whisper to full throated roar with amazing ease.

Rod Demick on the Doghouse Bass was fantastic and is also a great  
singer, who tinges his vocals with humourous undertones.

Sonny Below on drums held everything together and never hit a wrong  
beat. His fills and the grooves he laid down were absolutely on the  
money every second of the show.

Paul Lamb was as always great on the harp. He had a small problem with  
his mic early on, but a quick change over sorted that out. He broke  
out the chromatic a few times, and of course he did his Sonny Terry  
thing. Damn he is so good at that!!

Paul was playing through his Fender Concert 410

Chad was using a Sonny Jr 410 for rhythm guitar.

Ryan Lamb was using a Fender Vibrolux 210

It was a great night and i recommend anyone who hasn't seen the band  
to do so. You won't be disappointed.
