Me And Deboe, Gig Review. Studio 2, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

In another plane of existence it would be fair to openly state that Me And Deboe would be one of the biggest, and well known duos on the planet, with a sound, a sense of urgent creativity that flows through each song and with a passion for expression that arguably has only been matched by Simon and Garfunkel, it would make sense, it would be the conversation of wisdom, to see and insist that Me And Deboe would be shaking the tree of indifference and pulling up those that follow with them.

Innocent faith may be examined, others can find ways to test your belief, make you question the foundation of all that you know and have come to hold dear; for some that faith is the epitome of their existence, for a small refuge of lovers and attendees, faith is about watching Britain’s answer to America’s finest ever duo, Simon and Garfunkel, and understanding that the two women on  stage now have reached a point where they can be considered true heirs, recipients to the crown of beautiful and insistent music.

Liverpool Sound And Vision Review Of 2017.

The year has perhaps been one of diverse feelings across the board in Liverpool, one in which reflection, triumphant returns, masterpieces and some sadness has been experienced. The Playhouse Theatre has undergone work for a while and yet held inside its doors one of the most magnificent scenes caught on camera as Annette Bening and Jamie Bell recreated one of the last days of the film star Gloria Graham for the cinematic love letter, Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool. The much loved Unity Theatre closed its doors for a time and reopened with a flourish as it too underwent a change in its decor and look and yet still retains the welcome that makes it one of the places to visit in the city.

ME And Deboe, The End. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

It is never The End, there is always something that pulls you back, a memory that keeps the person in your mind, a certain word, a phrase, a recall during the night that makes you smile, go red with embarrassment or perhaps have you reaching out for a hand that is not there anymore.

Me And Deboe, Gig Review. Leaf, Liverpool. (2016).

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There is a reasonable and compelling argument to be made to compare the tantalising work of Me and Deboe with the greatest of all musical partnerships, the phenomenally outstanding Simon and Garfunkel. The comparison isn’t in the voices or the appearance, but where it matters most in the defining action of the duos appreciation towards their audience, the way they are received and the true mastership of both their lyrics and of the beat they generate.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

To perform in unison when the weather is perfect is to be expected. To perform with an air of gliding ease indoors with the natural ambiance afforded to you, and the audience smiling with a sense of satisfaction, that is almost a given.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

To dislike ME and Deboe is to have the same outlook as a block of stone being chipped away by the most inept and undedicated of Masons, for just to be in front of Mercy Elise and Sarah Deboe is to understand that music is the most perfect of pursuits.

Me And Deboe, Here They Come. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 91/2/10

There are times in life when you really feel honoured…beyond that, grateful, to have heard a set of songs by a band or an artist in which the long nights caress the furrowed brow and handles the inner music beast with the soft click of the finger. That ambient caress is never far away when it comes to ME and Deboe, yet they also manage to tune you into a different direction in life, the mere taste of a song can cause the heart to gain momentum, give it the energy to face a new dawn and ultimately make you relieved that music chose to infiltrate your soul.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Postscript, An Interview With Thom Morecroft.

Thom Morecroft may not be a Scouser but the passion he wears on his sleeve for his adopted home of the last few years is plain enough to see. His relaxed style makes swans seem fidgety and yet he has blown away audience after audience with his music and is looked upon as one of Liverpool’s great successes.  The Everyman Theatre, newly reopened hides us away as we talk about music, including his love of the Progressive giants Genesis. With a new night of music opening up and a gig to look forward to you might think Thom Morecroft had enough on his plate to deal with but music calls all the time and there is always plenty to discuss.

ME and Deboe, Gig Review. Zanzibar Club, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Just knowing that somewhere in the darkened hall of Zanzibar, the two women who make up the superb ME and Deboe, Mercy Elise and Sarah Deboe, are mentally going through the notes of the songs that are going to perform is enough to send the shiver of musical anticipation rushing through the veins and capillaries, the sense of the thrill to come running up and down your spine and the sliver of expectation to go into meltdown.
