"It’s visceral stuff and The Talks deliver it with verve and punch" - Louder Than War
“There's a revival going on. The forgotten sound of early '80s ska is making a return in a form more suited to the modern age. 2-Tone has collided head-on with the US ska-punk scene and out of it has emerged a new sound, so new that it hasn't yet been named.” - Team Rock

These Sunday night gigs in Plymouth are starting to become a regular fixture, not a bad thing by any standards, I just feel that they should be hosted mid week instead to ensure the biggest audience possible, saying that, as the evening progressed, the place started to fill nicely, by the time the main act were on stage, it really was 'standing room only'. I'd not seen any of the bands live before, was it to be a 'trick' or 'treat' situation, read on to find out....

Read MoreTHE BEN WATT TRIO - EXETER PHOENIX ARTS CENTRE OCTOBER 23RD 2014 - LIVE REVIEW
The problem with midweek gigs in Exeter are that the Gala bingo hall is open and that can only mean one thing, no car parking spaces…..yes folks, we spent the best part of 20 minutes driving from 'one secret spot' to another in search of a loading bay that was not being used until 7am the next morning, alas, we ALMOST had to pay for a multi-storey, something I am not going to do unless the worst comes to the absolute worst. Fortunately, on our 3rd trip around the block, we discovered 2 spaces about 30 feet apart, we snuck in, packed our bags and were off to the Exeter Phoenix Arts Centre to check out the Ben Watt Trio…..
