Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There are many reasons in which to enjoy Paddy Clegg’s Head In The Cloud E.P.  Aside from it sounding like a well-oiled Formula One engine, purring with anticipation of the battle ahead and yet creative enough to avoid every pitfall placed before it by those out to do young musicians down, it also has the musical brain musing in what the young man sounds like. Or rather who he sounds like. By the end of the E.P. the dawning realisation of the comparison will explode in the head as if watching a series of Van Gogh paintings come surreally to life; that Paddy Clegg, the young Liverpool lad, has all the early hallmarks of a young, unpolished, unrefined and wonderfully cultured anger hanging in the back of the voice John Lennon.
