Paul Dunbar greets me with a friendly smile and an outstretched hand as he comes from out of one of the many doors that are part of the rabbit warren of the iconic Unity Theatre. Every band and musician I have come across in Liverpool has something special about them, from Buckle Tongue to Ian McNabb, from Jo Bywater to Stealing Sheep, Paul Dunbar and his band have something about them that makes you want to smile which fits in with the current and lasting view that the city of Liverpool is perhaps arguably the best city in terms of creativity within music to call home.

The Midnight Ramble, High Time/Live. Album Review.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The one thing you can be sure of listening to The Midnight Ramble’s new album is that throughout the three new songs on offer and the elegantly captured live set is they don’t consider this in any way to be a ramble, a quiet stroll or saunter on a summer’s day taking in the sights after what has been a long cold winter in search of that elusive sunshine. High Time/Live is a statement, a jive on the promenade, an exertion of sound that mocks a sub four minute mile as being too slow and dull.
