              Shawbook Presents at The Luxe Live-
               Tuesday 18th September 2012


On Tuesday at The Luxe Live i showcased some great acts such as Becky Holloway, Delve, Alice Offley, Rosie Adé and AJ Moore. In this blog i am going to tell you a bit about each act and what i think they will be doing in the future.


The first act of the evening was the wonderful and youthful Sussex Songstress Becky Holloway. She played a blinding set and got everyone to be very attentive. She played a set which mainly consisted of originals. I was very impressed with her, if she keeps working hard eventually the good times will come she needs to be patient but i am sure you will see her playing at a few folk festivals up and down the country in a year or so.

Check out her music, ladies and gentlemen, I am sure she will have lots of great gigs coming up so keep up to date

Next up was Delve, they played an enchanting twenty minute set of rousing folk rock. I am really certain that these two gentlemen will go far over the next few months. They are an acoustic duo from Dorset who moved to Hammersmith early last year.   They have various shows in London scheduled in various venues, so come on to some of their shows and show your support. With your help they could be playing at some great festivals during the Spring and Summer of 2013.

The third  act of the night was the beautiful Swindon Pop songstress Alice Offley
. She played a blinding twenty five minute set which consisted of a few covers and songs from her debut album 'Skin and Bones'. She is always doing gigs up and down the country and has done some great gigs over the past year, so she is one of the acts you have to look out for during 2012/2013.

Dare to Be Charlie were the fourth act, they managed to turn the room on it's head by getting the crowd to and get the crowd swaying to their mixture of Country tinged rock. They  are fronted by Daren Callow and Charlie Savigar and accompanied by the great cajon player Dan Cowell. I think you should watch out for this act over the next few months as I can picture them playing some great country rock festivals at some point in the near future,  if you need them for your special birthday party or work party then don't hesistate to contact the band becuase you are sure to be wowed by some truely great musicians.

Don't worry ladies and gentleman if you missed them on tuesday as they back on October 10th playing on a mainly folk orientated bill, so it will be another great night.

Rosie Adé was next, she played a very uplifiting and upbeat soulful pop set which consisted of mainly songs from her debut EP which is out in October. I particularly loved her song 'Loving You' as it was catchy, intricate and very well put together. 

Her set also consisted of a medley of 90's covers which got every one dancing and listening ever so attentively Rosie is a model professional she works extremely hard at everything she does and fully deserves to be playing at festivals like Glastonbury, Green Man and Latitude next year. I want everyone who loved her performance to fully get behind her and purchase her debut EP.

Here is a link to her facebook, on there you will find out when her next gigs are, i fully think that you should definitely keep some time free, so that you can go and see her live. She is a truely incredible talent.

The headliner of the night was the wonderful AJ Moore. He has earned the respect from his music industry peers and the admiration of fan forums while performing as guitarist for number 1 selling artists Hayley Westenra, Laura Wright, Jonathan Ansell, Lee Mead, Amr Diab and Faryl Smith. But now he has released his first critically acclaimed solo album title Harmonics which has featured on BBC Radio 2 at various times in 2012. The album is also on constant repeat in selective Pret á Manger shops in London.

His band played a wonderfully entertaining forty minute set which got everyone dancing once again. AJ Moore tours the UK rigourously and has some amazing gigs happening soon. He is gracing The Bedford, Kensington Roof Gardens and Brogans in the coming months.

If you want to book him for a gig, get in touch early as he is a very busy man, he is constantly touring and recording, so he will need a lot of notice but i strongly recommend him. He is ideal for any christmas party or work party.
