Friday September 6th brings a return visit to Music in the Hall at St Georges Hall, Bewdley with a real coup for Worcestershire with the 2nd appearance of Americana super-group Bennett Wilson Poole.
Danny Wilson (Danny And The Champions Of The World, Grand Drive), and Robin Bennett (The Dreaming Spires, Saint Etienne) have joined forces with Tony Poole (Starry Eyed and Laughing), producer extraordinaire, and King of the electric twelve-string Rickenbacker to form the UK supergroup. Anyone who attended last year’s show will know that their range of musicianship allied to a lively presentation skills set results in a fantastically enjoyable night of live music.
Bennett Wilson Poole is the collaboration made for destiny and one set to make a significant mark in the recording annals. Jangle rocking revivalists gets the clichés out the way early, but the two thoughts never stray far from your mind as their self-titled album washes over you. Rampant guitars, wispy harmonies and luxurious tunes combine to place the record in the set position pending the proverbial smash. Wholesomely British and vividly retrospective, the forty-eight minutes music on the album parade in a flash with little effect of strain, but plenty of endless uncomplicated ease.
They combine their voices, guitars, and song-writing to marvellous effect in their new collection of songs that began as uplifting acoustic music and just grew into something far more wide-ranging and transcendent, providing balm, inspiration and succour for these troubled times.
Their album, the recently released titled “Bennett, Wilson and Poole”, is testament to Tony’s particular production and musical talents. All three speak in the rosiest of terms of the collaboration and their excitement at its release is palpable.
The evening opens with Youth Artist Danny Bold followed by main support from Redwood, both providing the usual local element to the evening. Doors open at 7.30pm. Tickets are available at £12.00 on-line from www.musicinthehall.co.uk, www.thehall-bewdley.org.uk or from Hall Café. (£15 on door)
