"Leap Year Gig Rehearsal" by Wes Finch
ReviewThere is some good news for Wes Finch fans awaiting the release of his Leap Year gig live album (as (p)reviewed in this magazine last month) He has offered you a plate of hors d'oeuvres in the form of four tracks recorded at the rehearsals for the show: "Fully Grown", "Keep Fishing" , "Maurice" and "Hold That Note" and the set is available on a "name your price" basis from this link:

The four songs certainly will whet your appetite for the album release but as you will have anticipated, the quality of the performances in no way indicates any inferiority in relation to studio or full gig versions: these are vignettes of great musicians playing excellent songs with love & commitment to them & each other & a true indication of what was to follow. Pull up a comfy chair, enjoy your appetisers & make sure you have left room for the main meal.
