Arthur Rigby and the Baskervylles @ Oporto , Leeds
09 November 2011
Arthur Rigby and the Baskervylles, have the most wonderful, intricate songs that have their own distinctive sound. So a free gig at Oporto
This band has their own Mini orchestra and for any of you that have been to Oporto
It’s classic folk music with poetic lyrics, a range of instruments and musical skill. Is that enough for you? Now folk music is on the up, and I love Mumford and Sons just like the rest of you. But there is more to new age folk than Mumford and bloody Sons. Baskervylles are just as good if not better than them. This performance tonight was spine tingling good with outstanding vocals from Ben. His vocals are note perfect and make the hairs stand to attention, whenever he sings a note.
Whenever you go to a gig you hope you’re going to get to see real musicians and not something that is like everything else on the music scene. Baskervylles are just that. Seeing them in this intimate surrounding I have now realised the extent of their talent, the extent that they are something special and not like anyone else. All songs that were played, were applauded and with cheers from the crowd. Their whole set was a breath of fresh air, during songs I found myself looking round to see if they were as deeply engrossed in this gig as I were. Of course they were this band put on one of the best shows I have seen in a long while.
They are hugely talented and make beautiful music, so they will be going far if they continue at the pace they are currently at.
