Orange Room, Gig Review. Liverpool Calling, St Luke’s Church.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Like The Shadow Theatre, Orange Room remain a secret held close to the chest of their adopted city and whilst the band may hail from the other side of the world, their roots are now firmly fixed in Liverpool. They have bided their time, made all the right moves and honed their set and for those that were fortunate enough to be in the confines of St. Luke’s Church during the afternoon session of Liverpool Calling they were treated to a fine performance that will live long in the memory.

Amsterdam, Gig Review. Liverpool Calling, St. Luke’s Church.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

There is something about the majesty; the feel of the past and what the Bombed Out Church of St. Luke’s stands for that just makes it a great place to watch live outdoor music. The gothic look, the refusal of a city to bend its knee towards oppressors, doubters and the shameful is all around the city and the life blood in its people. No more so than Ian Prowse and Amsterdam and as the band come on stage as part of Liverpool Calling, the sound, the joy and defiance from the audience gets notably louder. If ever there was a man who can get a crowd thumping the air whilst placing one hand over their chest in remembrance of the fallen then Ian Prowse is the man and Amsterdam are quite rightly the band of the day.

The Mono L.Ps. Gig Review. Liverpool Calling, St. Luke’s Church.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

As The Mono L.Ps came on stage, the light changed over the Bombed Out church of St. Luke’s as if the changing of the guard was on hand and a brighter herald was needed to hail the excellence of this respected Liverpool band.

Vasa, Gig Review. Liverpool Calling, St. Luke’s Church.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

One thing audiences inside the Bombed Out Church of St. Lukes may not have been expecting as part of Liverpool Calling was for a band to travel from Scotland, to take the long route march south, and perform for half an hour and then make their way back the same day north of the border. It certainly showed commitment and the music that Vasa provided in that short time on stage was not just scintillating but pretty awesome as well.

L.S. Media Rating ****

It seemed like a marriage made in heaven, the incredible and eclectic sound of Scandinavian band People of K and the sensational sound that St. Luke’s, known city wide as the bombed out church, produces.

As part of Liverpool’s Sound City celebrations, delegates, music lovers and the wider world started to flock to all the venues in the city in the biggest show of solidarity to the unknown, the bands that deserve greater recognition in a city that prides itself on being the capital of culture and the father of mother of all pop.

L.S. Media Rating ****

Daniel Kuhle, as a member of the band Ironside, may be used to appearing on stages in varying venues but nothing would have prepared him to play in the atmosphere of St Luke’s Church.

The gothic almost unsettling feel of a venue that symbolises Liverpool’s refusal to bow down to any one, had already welcomed the Scandinavian band People of K and as the wind started to blow just that little bit harder and the threat of rain to the outside venue becoming a more distinct possibility, Daniel Kuhle’s amazing voice brought back images of filled churches listening intently to the one soloist that would guarantee a capacity attendance.
