One of my hopes in visiting with Kevin Farrell aka lefty Unplugged was to hear him in performance with Darren Poyzer, the members of Incredible Planet. I had seen them posting notices of the shows they were doing around Manchester and was most fortunate that plans changed to include a gig yesterday at The Ship Inn.
One thing you'll see right away in watching them playing is how much fun they're having doing it. Both have been playing for quite a long time so they're very comfortable in front of the microphone and they're very much tuned to how the audience is doing so they can play to that.
Kevin is using an interesting array of effects boxes and this gives him the freedom to make a wide variety of sounds, much beyond what you would ordinarily expect an acoustic guitar can do. Darren says Kevin is the man with the knowledge and he, Darren, just bangs chords. Well, you can see for yourself how it goes as this time I have video of the show. My view of it is that it was a marvelous performance and I would hate like hell to have missed it!
