We had a great Loudhailer Electric Company gig at The Sun Inn in Beverley last week. Thanks to the guys at The Sun, landlords Paul and Del, and sound engineer Rob. And to everyone who came to the gig, a great crowd – we had a brilliant time amongst a full room of friends and fans. Thanks to Opher for his review on Opher’s World, and to Sydpix and Andy Ellis for the photos.

Loudhailer Electric Company Review by Opher:
“We went to a great gig last night. The first time that we’ve seen LEC for some time. A feast of psychedelia. The band were so tight, held together with Dave’s fabulous drumming and Lou’s adventurous bass. Rich had a superb-sounding electrified 12-string acoustic that sounded bright and clear and augmented the sound with vocals, shakey egg and harp. Together they created a varied backing, often funky, sometimes slow and bluesy, often soaring into the atmosphere. Brilliant. They provided the phogiston for Jeff to lay down his fabulous runs, chords and rhythms – it was like listening to those West Coast acid rock bands from the 60s – Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe and the Fish, Spirit and Doors – Jeff was the incarnation of Jorma, Barry Melton, Robbie Krieger and Randy California – exquisite!
As Lou, Rich and Dave stirred the pot Jeff sprinkled on the spells and something magic emerged. Straight out of the psychedelic caverns of Middle Earth and The Matrix.
They took us on a trip through time from the Huguenots out to the Borgs and Drones of the distant future. We took flights on dragons to the control room on the Enterprise. All saturated in fluorescence and soaring sounds. All uplifting, mind-expanding and glorious.
What a trip! Time and space melted around us as we howled like werewolves in heat!”

Our next Loudhailer Electric Company gig is at The New Adelphi Club Club on Friday 13th December. All proceeds are for a very important charity, Hull Help For Refugees – charity 1176555. We are organising the night together with Cooperation Hull. Our supports for the evening are our friends Jody McKenna and Cecil Jones, so a really good line up. We’re expecting a great night, come and join the fun and support the cause.
