An afternoon in the pub with Paris Adams (30/11/24)
Review
This was a rare double-header of gigs for me and both were absolutely wonderful performances, starting at The Old Post Office in Warwick for a delightful, afternoon country set by the amazing Paris Adams.
Paris is such a busy lady she has been touring recently in the Nashville At Heart show, is involved in rehearsal for the Paradise Found theatre show that performs the music of Meatloaf that starts in January and hits the Leamington Spa Centre on 7th February 2025, yet still finds time to entertain us in a pub (great pub though!) on a Sat afternoon.
Her voice has beautiful, angelic country tones and this along with her excellent acoustic guitar work and her easy going, friendly manner made this a fab afternoon.
She wowed the pub with her covers of country classics including Lady A's ‘Need You Now', Chris Stapleton's ‘Tennessee Whiskey' and her sublime version of Shania Twain's ‘You're Still The One'.
Elsewhere in the set she included clever country tinged vesions of numbers by the likes of Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses, Extreme and Fleetwood Mac with my personal favourite of the afternoon her take on Taylor Swift's ‘Love Story' one of my favourites (total Swiftie me)
Such a talent and so lucky to see her perform her music in this wonderful pub on a Saturday afternoon, hope she returns soon if not we have Paradise Found in Feb to look forward to.
