Paul J Rose / R&B Jones Live @ The Taphouse (K'minster) 20/05/07 NJS	Permalink

Paul J Rose / R&B Jones Live at the Taphouse (kidderminster) You have probably seen him busking in your part of town. He is a regular on the Streets of Worcester and Droitwich as well as many other places I am sure. Performing live in front of shoppers and passer bys has got provide the perfect training for performing in front of pub audience. Paul seems so as ease with his music and being on stage that you can't help but feel relaxed watching him do his stuff. Tonight, in front of a busy Tap House crowd, he provided the perfect end to your weekend. Laid back self penned tunes, rubbing shoulders with the more upbeat 'quirky' number, one would think that he had known what a crappy weekend you had had, and constructed a set list just to please you. But first up (or rather, second up, as we arrived 'fashionably' late and missed the first act), were support act are R&B Jones, a blues duo with combined age nearing somewhere 150, they dish up a great selection of old authentic Delta blues with Bob on guitar and vocals, Rob on blues harp. I don't know a lot about blues, but these guys sound great. Paul J Rose (under the name Little Boy Paul) joined the two bluesmen on stage for a couple of numbers including The Everly Brothers Bye Bye love and a cool blues number Working The Car Wash Blues. A great taster for what was to come. After a short break, he is back with his own set. One man, one guitar and a handful of self penned songs with subjects ranging from Grandparents shopping (Eye For A Bargain) and alzheimers (Who Are You?) to his very own protest song (Rubbish Song). Each track was introduced with a slight remark here, a anecdote or a humorous story there. He is a performer that loves writing and loves performing. Its not about the fame or the money, its about the music. Many of the songs performed tonight are from his album "A Nice Cup Of Tea" which is well worth a listen. If you get a chance to check out Paul J Rose live then you wont have wasted your time .. in fact if you're just shopping in your local high street you may well see him.
