Adrian Cox (clarinet, vocals); Nils Solberg (guitar, vocals); Mez Clough
(percussion)
Preacher Cox in the pulpit on a Saturday? Ah, well, an upcoming Bad Manners gig in Mexico necessitated a change of routine due to the fact that at the time of today's usual one o'clock live stream spot Adrian Cox will be at 30,000 feet flying to Central America via Spain. In wishing him bon voyage, our man was joined by guitarist Nils Solberg and percussionist Mez Clough. The limitations of the AV format meant Solberg and Clough would be largely out of shot for much of the session. The trio couldn't have been more relaxed, Cox chatting between numbers with his online flock (in excess of sixty parishioners), kicking off with Somebody Loves Me.
Cox took most of the vocals, although
Solberg did take a couple himself (East of the Sun and My
Blue Heaven), the main man laying down a killer vocal/clarinet take
on Careless Love. A swinging Mez Clough (Clare Teal, Van the Man,
Madness) fitted in beautifully playing brushes on a snare, hand drumming and
some rhythmic accompaniment on bongos. The trio - they should do it again! -
went out on South of the Border. More next Saturday, note Saturday
(lunchtime), when Cox will be breakfasting in Mexico City. Russell
Set list: Somebody Loves Me; You Turned the Tables on Me; Lover, Come Back to Me; Body and Soul; East of the Sun; Fascinating Rhythm; Careless Love; South of the Border.
