It has been four long years since Chris de Burgh last stood on the stage of the Philharmonic Hall and delivered music to his adoring fans. A man to whom being presented with two roses midway through the first section of the evening, is not an embarrassment to be savoured at the end of a show but to be moved to gratitude and thanks immediately and being humble earnest in his appreciation.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It cannot be easy being bracketed as cover’s band, especially when you have the ringing endorsement of one of the group ring loud and clear across the venue in which you are performing in and every note sound as delicious, as astoundingly melancholic and brutally sharp as anything the main band in question laid down in their fifty year career. This perhaps is arguably compounded when the band are on tour themselves within a few months and that same band is held with so much deep affection that it crushes the heart and causes shortness of breath. For Rumours of Fleetwood Mac though, they have that endorsement for a reason, they truly capture the soul, the very essence of what Fleetwood Mac represents.

Nils Lofgren, Gig Review. Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. (2015)

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Nils Lofgren has placed his guitar on the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall stage before and yet as the chill in the January air was making the very air being exhaled from Liverpool public’s mouths feel as though it was shattering onto the pavements in a tiny fragmented pieces, never has watching one of the most scintillating guitarists to ever come out of America, filled the heart with as much heat and joyous warmth.
