Take
four of The
musicians in question are Fairport Convention's Gerry Conway (drums and percussion),
Simon Nicol (guitars) and
Dave Pegg (bass), joined by
PJ Wright (slide and
electric guitars, pedal steel) and the singer is Steve Gibbons. As The Dylan Project,
they present an exhilarating tribute to the work of arguably the greatest
post-war songwriter in the English language – Bob Dylan.
The
Dylan Project is far more than a mere copycat act. The members bring their
own distinctive take on the music: Steve Gibbons sounding uncannily like
Dylan interprets the lyrics with stylish individuality, while retaining
his own inimitable vocal style. There's PJ Wright’s scintillating slide
and haunting pedal steel; Simon Nicol adding compelling rhythm guitar and
fine backing vocals; Dave Pegg bringing his beautifully subtle and
powerful bass lines, and Gerry Conway holding the whole groove with a tour
de force on drums and percussion. “Whether you are a diehard Dylan
fan or just enjoy great songs performed with flair and brio, The Dylan
Project will take your breath away. Go and see them or buy one of the
albums - you won't be disappointed.” Support
for this show is talented young singer songwriter Ella
Edmondson (daughter of Jennifer Saunders and Ade
Edmondson). |
