Spike - Sunday 30th May (Afternoon Show) - Cavern, Raynes Park

Brief review:  Back to the Cavern which is one of the few venues showcasing live music current. Spike from the Quireboys performing an acoustic set of favourites, across many genres. I must admit that I didn't even know Spike played guitar. A fair few amusing stories were thrown in for good measure, and I understand that this afternoon show was a fair bit longer that the evening one that followed.

Venue and View:  Decent view near the front, seated. Socially distanced show limited to 50 people and made to feel welcome as always by Noel and the team.

Jim Kirkpatrick - Thursday 20th May - Cavern, Raynes Park

Brief review:  I've normally seen Jim as part of Rhino's Revenge and his "day job" is playing guitar for rockers "FM". But he is at the Cavern tonight in a postponed show to promote his new solo album and play some of the songs acoustically. He is a fine player and decent singe, so despite not knowing the material, this was a good evening. I especially enjoyed the cover of Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well.

Venue and View:  Decent seat near the front. Socially distanced show
