One Taste, The Bedford, Balham
Went to One Taste last night, a 1st Sunday of every month entertainment extravaganza. Was overly impressed with all 6 ‘artistes’ but these 3 stood out in particular for me:
Blueswerver, the guy’s got a voice like Chet Baker, and he’s surrounded by masterful keyboard action and electronica. I will be downloading some.
Sam Beer, really gentle, funny bloke with an acoustic guitar and harmonica who opens his voice up and you sit there fairly stunned at the power coming out.
Foy Vance, again very funny chap who’s amazingly strong voice you just don’t see coming, then he does this live sampling bit where he might record slapping the side of his guitar, then that’s looped back and he might record another 5 sounds which are all layered on top, bloody clever stuff.
One Taste are having an all-dayer festival on Sunday the 15th.
