No. 1 Son
>> The Arches
>> Thursday 23rd February
Its really hard for singer/songwriters to get anywhere these days. There seems to be so many of them kicking around that unless you write a Babylon or a Cannonball its very hard to make anyone pay attention. Although No. 1 Son are a band, the music sits in the same bracket as the Finn Brothers and Damien Rice.
However, No. 1 Son are definitely a step up from your average soothing acoustic pop/rock act. Lead singer Paul McLaughlin has a fabulous voice and a friendly smile, making it impossible not to like them, and debut single 27 is cracking wee snippet of what this band are capable of.
The sound doesn't do them justice tonight though, especially for songs more suited to theatres or small intimate coffee shops, but its a great performance anyway and the lively crowd don't care.
One of Glasgow's most promising bands will be making small waves over the next few months I'm sure.
