Clapton, Cream and Hendrix fans were treated to 2 hours of their legends’ music by the three musicians who make up the band, Voodoo Room - Peter Orr, Jevon Beaumont and John Tonks.
This is an authentic tribute to
the bands’ musical heroes, channelling the vibes and the spirits of Jack Bruce,
Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jimi Hendrix. All their well-known hits such as
‘Strange Brew’, ‘Hey Joe’, ‘Sunshine Of Your Love’, ‘Layla’ and ‘Purple Haze’ were
replicated along with some lesser known numbers plus some original tracks from
Voodoo Room’s album, ‘Out Of The Cold’ which was available to purchase at the
gig.
The bands’ appreciation of
their musical icons shines through their
performance and the audience showed their appreciation at the end of each
number with loud cheers and clapping.
Lead guitarist, Orr encouraged the audience to join in and sing along at
times; dressed in a black sequinned jacket and blue hat he informed the
audience that his colourful guitar was a replica of the one given to Eric
Clapton by George Harrison in 1966 which was auctioned off for two million
pounds; unfortunately his is worth a lot less.
The band have played with Massive
Attack, Ben E. King, Duran Duran, Stevie Winwood, Thunder, Arthur Brown and
Fish amongst others.
The Live Lounge in the Cavern
Club is a standing venue with some unreserved seating with a bar at one end and
a live video presentation of the band on the opposite wall.
This was a one night gig at The
Cavern Club, the band are currently touring, for more details see http://voodoo-room.com/about-the-band
