The Feeling, Gig Review. Echo Arena, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Opening up for legends might be the finest double edged sword possible, not so much a weapon of Damocles, the weight of the movement swaying precariously and with a semi inclination towards amusement, but one that comes out of the lake held aloft by a woman with excellent lung capacity and with all the drama of Camelot at her disposal; The Feeling may not have been anointed Kings of Pop in Liverpool for the night but they did a damn marvellous job of opening for the regal elect inside the Echo Arena.

Satin Beige, Gig Review. Unit 51, Threshold, Liverpool. 2016.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The world may be in a mess, a state of confusion and disorder in which we are permanently told to feel afraid, to be watchful, to not engage or try to change, that being fearful of the person next to you is natural and to always trust those in charge because, like children, we cannot be trusted to make a difference, that we must follow blindly the excepted so called leadership.

Eleanor Nelly, Gig Review. Write Blend, Waterloo.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There are moments in a young musician’s life when the sound they create is not only stunning, it can make the die-hards and the cynical weep behind closed eyes and have them mutter that whilst music may have changed, it remains intact and an endearing presence in some.

In Eleanor Nelly, one of Liverpool’s bright young things, that presence is keenly felt and to admired, even when she is supporting someone different in a book shop in Waterloo. Being able to watch this fine musician up close and personal in amongst the books and rampaging taste of coffee and stirring tea was not only a singular pleasure but one that encapsulated the point of encouraging the young to strive for all they can; for dreams are soon too easily dashed if not nurtured and held on to.
