Gary Maginnis And The Like, Gig Review. The Ship Inn, Hoylake. Festival Of Firsts.

It feels strange to go to a gig in a part of the country not normally known for holding concerts and seeing a group perform with the benefit of a marvellous new album behind them but not hearing any tracks from it. For Gary Maginnis and The Like it was a bold move that worked mainly because the music they played was on par with anything they have put down on Ghost Town Blues and executed with the same deft precision.

Hoylake might not rival its near big city neighbour Liverpool in terms of music history or of touring bands of musicians making their way to soak in the rich ambience and be part of the ever growing chronicles being reported on but in recent weeks it has held a couple of festivals in which musicians and audiences seem to have flocked to in large numbers.

Wirral based group Crooked Wolf may have only been performing together for around a year but as they bask in the sunlight in The Ship Inn as part of the Oxjam event in Hoylake, the stirrings of something great has grown teeth and chewed its way through the past.

Whilst the crowds flock en masse to the Liverpool side of the Mersey to watch the grand spectacle of foreign ships and their crews making their way into port, on the Wirral, the small town of Hoylake was gearing up for its annual Oxjam music event and seemingly nowhere was in more of a mood to enjoy the late but welcome turn in the weather as spring in its youthful guise made a timely appearance.
