Eleanor Nelly, Gig Review. Constellations, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision 9/10

It seems to be that the phrase for Liverpool’s Eleanor Nelly is “always continues to impress and astound”; for when you see this young musician perform you forget about many things, Time gets swallowed up, Time finds a way to be its own destructing agent without decaying the fragile and sensitive beauty that is bonded between audience and performer. It is almost as if Time understands the special nature that comes with Ms. Nelly and wants to make sure that those that see her perform now in Liverpool enjoy, take pleasure in and bask in the enormity to come, for six months on from turning 16, Eleanor is surely earmarked to go to the stars.

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 * * * *

Jo Bywater stands aloft on the stage at Constellations and the world feels as though it is about to shift, quake and feel the pressure of talented guitar fury. To be fair to Ms. Bywater, whichever stage she graces, that same feeling emanates from the tips of her fingers to the assembled crowd, it is not new but it is surely immensely powerful and as part of the fifth year of Threshold, that guitar fury, not thrashed, not beaten, just quiet reflective anger but held in a song which sounds as sweet as the first drops of rain after a long protracted drought, is as needed as the very act of breathing, it is a Liverpool soul.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Stuart Todd may go by the name of Three Minute Hero but this conscious driven musician is no flash in the pan, no three minute wonder when it comes to delivering songs with social bite and society angst. Every city, every market place in every village, town centre or urban conurbation deserves someone like Three Minute Hero, someone to whom the maverick town crier can be held up as an example to, not delivering news to the masses which has been scripted, shaped and fawned over by ministers and their collected yes men, but the ideas and truth of what we have in place.
