On this balmy midweek summer evening, the Basement Bar The Luxe was rasping with people coming to see the latest upcoming talent and they certainly didn't leave disappointed.
Opening the night was the beautiful Gloucestershire songstress Ruth Bewsey. She played some her amazing summer folk material to get people dancing and slowly eased into what was quite an action packed night of some top class music. Don't worry ladies and gentleman, the lovely Ruth Bewsey will be back at The Luxe at some point soon.

The second act of the night was the amazingly youthful Finn Lurcott who played a mix set of great folky covers by artists such as Ben Howard and Bon Iver however he did also play a few of his own original songs.
"She is the perfect summer listening for a lovely barbecue that you would be having on warm balmy August summer weekend. "
This helped set the platform for what would be an amazing night. He has an amazingly folky voice and is very competent guitar player. Expect big from Finn in the future, i think in a few years time you will see him playing at Hop Farm Festival or Latitude.

Helen & The Sirens was the third act of the evening, they played some great alternative pop music which got people dancing and talking about them long after they come of the stage. People who hadn't seen them before were commenting on the fact their set was like an adventure, you couldn't decide what will happen next.
In my opinion the way all the girls work together on stage sets you up for a masterful set. Also they have a very worldclass drummer in Ciara Wavers and a top class singer in Helen Greenham. They will go very far in life. They are off to play their debut festival tonight and don't worry folks they are coming back to play for us in November.

Weatherbird was the fourth act, they played an intricate set of loud rock and roll music. In my opinion they are a grungier version of Supergrass. They played a really good set and will be playing in some very big venues such as The Enterprise and Proud Camden at some point in the Autumn. They have gained quite a bit of recognition for their "Brilliant achievement on getting to number 1 in Amazon Charts" BBC Introducing Shropshire
The final band of the night was Painting Elephants, they wowed the crowd by playing some great loud intricate rock music. They come from various different musical backgrounds and gel really well. They have been around for a quite a while and have played in various venues in London such as The Vortex, Proud Camden, The Kings Head and The Half Moon in Putney. They are currently going to take a break and will begin writing a new EP, so don't worry they will be back again soon.
Don't worry we still have plenty of things going on this month at The Luxe Live such as the next Luxe Live which is on Wednesday 22nd August.

THE MATADORS- 10;30PM
As an answer to the insipid modesty of modern popular guitar music, The Matadors offer a blues-hued tonic for sleeping ears. Ostentatious, lewd and looking for a fight, this peacock rock n’ roll takes a bow to its old friend the blues, then swiftly stands to rub its white-hot codpiece in the nearest unsuspecting face.
