Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The very best of men are those that have the mystique of being legendary about them, the glow that the audience sees on stage and who revel in the mystery but also appreciate the man, the very human, the down to Earth persona of the artist who is extremely talented but immensely humble about their contribution to the world, the music and souls they have touched.

Go West never have to send out an elaborate invitation for their fans to attend a night of music delight. The word seems to get out, made easier by 21st Century social media, that Peter Cox and Richard Drummie are going back out on the road, that they will be touring their much loved songs and like the proverbial baseball slogan, the audience comes, and the aisles and the spaces provided near the now neglected seats having irresistible dancing and loud appeals for more thrust ever closer to the stage.

It may seem extraordinary, the type of story that even a seasoned publisher might balk at the idea of putting into print but the rise of Widnes songstress Natalie McCool is one that demands to be told over and over again and each time the narrative is accounted, the stronger it becomes and that is because like all good stories, it is, like her music, 100 per cent sincere.
