The stage was set : The lights were lowered The Bluecats kicked up there usual harp-driven storm much to the satisfaction of the audience who had been waiting patiently for this moment. Andy Lee and his band blasted off with “Juke” an harmonica instrumental done in typical Bluecat style with Andy cutting riffs with a most passionate feeling .
      The next song “The Right stuff” taken from the c.d. with the same name is a more soulful but cleverly worded song, and by far there most commercial to date.
      The next tune is more in the "Sonny Boy Williamson"style, and certainly one I`ve not heard before, it contained the humorous line “before you complain about your women take a look at mine" I later discovered that this too was an original written by Andy Lee. An excellent use of dynamics on this track. Before the track even ends they glide effortlessly into “Can`t help thinkin” a real get up and dance number Rock ‘n ‘ roll style the crowd again responded enthusiastically.
      While talking  mid-set to Yvonne,  their vigorous pursuer of band PR, she suddenly  dived towards the  guitarist, Texas born Frank Shipman,with camera poised. This was The Crawl in which he sometimes swings the guitar above his head a-la  Hendrix, [ a rare act ] Yvonne told me, so catching it on film is as valuable  as footage of white rhino! The dance floor was heaving with a mass of pulsating body's. A most fitting climax to what had been a superb set from the band. Beer flowed and a good time was had by one  and all.
