点评:I have recently moved into the local area, and my first visit to this venue was to see Clive Gregson and the Guilty Men on 14th December. The building has a lot of history and is in an unusual setting just below the Humber Bridge and next to a local nature reserve . Earlier in the day we visited the cafe and arts centre with gallery and shop at the far end of this long low listed building where rope used to be made.
The doors opened promptly on time, there was a welcoming bar with a choice of local real ales. Seats were set out theatre style, with a couple of central aisles, so not too hard to access without disturbing a whole row of people. Contains about 150 maximum audience. The venue is run by volunteers, they put on a lovely range of interesting varied live music , attracting some artists that usually play much larger venues.
The concert started promptly, Clive Gregson shared duties with a newly formed band, 2 members of Barclay James Harvest and drummer of 10CC , all with many years experience. Much louder and rockier than when I have seen Clive before. Vocal duties were shared around, the songs were short and punchy. My only criticism, for the small size of venue they had the volume up a bit too loud, which made some of words difficult to make out. The band enjoyed themselves, 2 sets played with an encore featuring respective older songs from different band members leading.
We will return in future, if it is in the summer combine it with an earlier walk around the nature reserve next door. Overall a unique characterful venue offering some great live music well worth a visit, keeping quality music live for appreciative audiences..
翻译:我最近搬到了当地,第一次来这里是为了在 12 月 14 日看克莱夫·格雷格森和 Guilty Men 乐队的演出。这栋建筑历史悠久,位于亨伯桥下方,毗邻当地自然保护区,环境独特。当天早些时候,我们参观了咖啡馆和艺术中心,这里有画廊和商店,位于这栋长长的低矮建筑的尽头,这里曾经是制造绳索的地方。
门准时打开,有一个温馨的酒吧,提供当地鲜啤酒。座位是剧院式的,有几个中央过道,所以进出不难,不会打扰到一排人。最多可容纳 150 名观众。这个场地由志愿者管理,他们上演了一系列有趣的现场音乐,吸引了一些通常在更大的场地演出的艺术家。
音乐会准时开始,克莱夫·格雷格森与一支新成立的乐队、Barclay James Harvest 的两名成员和 10CC 的鼓手共同演出,他们都拥有多年的经验。比我以前见过的 Clive 的演唱会更响亮、更有摇滚感。演唱任务由大家共同承担,歌曲短小有力。我唯一不满意的是,由于场地太小,他们的音量开得太大,导致一些歌词难以听清。乐队玩得很开心,两场演出结束后,返场曲目由不同的乐队成员领唱,分别演唱了较老的歌曲。
如果是在夏天,我们以后还会再来,可以结合早点去隔壁的自然保护区散步。总的来说,这是一个独特而有特色的场地,提供一些很棒的现场音乐,值得一去,为欣赏的观众提供高质量的现场音乐。
