Louise Dodds (voice); Tom Gibbs (piano); Andrew Robb (bass); Alyn Cosker (drums)
Ann Alex wrote a lovely review for BSH of Louise Dodds' current album The Story Needs an Ending so much so that I knew I had to hear Louise and the band doing it live when they stopped off at the Globe on their promotional tour of the album.

The fact that her superb backing trio included Alyn Cosker - a drummer rated by many as one of the best drummers, not just in Scotland, not just in the UK but anywhere in the world - made it even more appealing but, here's the rub. Cosker hit everything so fff.....' hard that, to me, it diminished the emotional impact of Dodd's deeply personal words. In her review AA described the drumming as 'lively' - it certainly was that!
Perhaps I have only myself to blame for sitting so close to the stage but, come the interval, I feared for my hearing and decided to forego the second set. Lance
