Robert Vincent impressed a few years ago as a support act so it was good to get a chance to see him at the small Acapela Studio venue. I was surprised when I arrived to find the venue less than busy and so it was an audience of of maybe 60 to 70 people that welcomed Robert plus his bassist and his piano player.
The first half consisted of quite a few songs from his 2020 album 'In this town you're owned' and the second half featured in large part the new album 'Barriers' neither of which I knew before this week.
In summary the gig was outstanding from start to finish - he writes interesting and melodic songs, sings strongly and the painist/keyboards player and double bassist were excellent.
Of the new songs I loved 'The Insider' and 'Burden' particularly and also 'Lost Souls' but it was all great stuff. Sitting about six feet away we couldn't have had a better appreciation of a very good gig. The informal atmosphere also contributed with some good scouse humour along the way.
