EC at RAH: Night Three
21 May 13
Three nights in to the Albert Hall run and the band is cooking and the earlier sound problems are sorted. Eric continued to rotate songs from across his repertoire and clearly enjoys feeding off his highly talented band members. Special mention this night goes to drummer Steve Jordan who balanced high energy snare and tom tom bashing with subtle brush work and rim-shots. And has there ever been a better rhythm section wing man than Willie Weeks, who stands tight on Steve’s left watching the bass pedal and adding fills and runs to complement each song perfectly. During the Albert Hall run, Where’s Eric! was particularly pleased to meet and interview new band member Paul Carrack and our exclusive interview will be featured shortly.
