Tonight the growing crowd at The Tramshed enthusiastically welcomed Broken Witt Rebels back in Wales tonight. As special guests of the headline band REEF, they had one task in hand to entertain, engage and warm to the atmosphere. They did this by being not hot but incendiary. The rebels hit the ground running with a real punchy number, not an old favourite but a new song Money. Vocalist Danny Core was for this number the tambourine wielding conductor of the band and we were captivated. Danny is the leader of the rebels, but there is nothing broken about the rebels. The musicians that surround Danny’s searing vocals are a tight-knit gang of musical brothers, connected by the collective belief in their sound. The rhythm section is full of deep tones and pounding beats from drummer James Dudley and bassist Luke Davis. Lead guitarist James Tranter is not just rooted in Southern Rock and Americana, but so much more with a contemporary twist that makes any venue pop with excitement as fans a delighted in the tones and textures. The sounds from the opening set were energised, hot and full of songs that are associated by the band and loved by fans including Howlin’; Low, Guns and Snake Eyes. They just keep on giving more and getting better with every performance. Nothing was going to make the rebels miss a beat, not even a strap failure second number in, James T carried on playing with the strap dangling until a replacement guitar arrived and the music played on. The lights turned the hottest hue for Low, red as the devils hideaway the music was combustible with Danny and the band in total control. Their stage presence was electrifying. A great performance from a stunning young band, no one was shortchanged while they waited for the main event REEF tonight.

Once again REEF played the Tramshed, once again to a packed house baying to hear the music they love to hear live and new tracks from Revelation. The tour celebrating the release of their first album for eighteen years, Revolution. The set list unsurprisingly had half-a-dozen numbers from the twelve track album threaded throughout the superlative and distinctive music displayed tonight.
Opening with Just Feel Love from the new album we were delighted to hear the music with the added edge of being played live under the spotlights. This is a band that will always excite the audience with vocalist Gary quickly stepping of the stage stretching over photographers in the pit to connect to the audience whose faces were filled with the unharnessed raw joy of seeing the band they love play music that connects up live and getting personal. The excitement was now at fever pitch two tracks in.
REEF’s loyal following spans the two incarnations of the band from Glastonbury. REEF’s stage presence and exciting music that generates an explosive atmosphere with their rock that transcends the genre, it is a sound accessible to all and always has an indie feel. Whilst we all wanted to hear the new music live the crowd was as joyful to hear songs from Replenish, Glow, Rides and more. Jack Bessant is no static bass player stage at the edge of the stage, Jack is full of energy as he acts as a conduit for the melodies through the deep bass rhythms with a toss of his mane of hair. His interaction with the powerful drumming from Dominic was enthralling and the lead guitarist Jesse threaded exciting guitar breaks and riffs developing and giving the melody meaning. The son of Ronnie Wood has now truly bedded in to the REEF sound with delicious riffs and stinging manipulation of the six strings. This was the perfect platform for Gary to deliver the lyrics and add in the layer of tambourine on Naked and other tracks. Tonight with keys from Andrew Wallace added to the quartet the sound was full of evocative textures and tones that define REEF and ensures the loyalty of fans.
The songs flowed we all heard favourites, including Yer Old, before the band left the stage to rapturous cheers and whoops as they demanded more. You are never old when you can hear live music of this quality played on a stage near you.
Closing out the encore in a hot, delighted and deliriously invigorated Tramshed with Stay With Me and one thing for certain REEF fans are not going anywhere they are staying loyal to Garry, Jesse, Jack and Dominic.
REEF are certain from the warm display of unadulterated, untamed joy at hearing their music played live will be welcomed back in Cardiff anytime – that is not a Revelation but a certainty.

April Roadstars Are Broken Witt Rebels and Bad Touch
Spring sunshine warming Cardiff pavements, but not as hot as The Globe scorching from the two rock n roll sets from rising British Bands 2017 Planet Rock Roadstars show; Broken Witt Rebels & Bad Touch. First up in a lava flow of Rock from the red hot Birmingham band Broken Witt Rebels. Many bands would leave the crowd-pleasing signature number that Low, from the acclaimed EP Georgia Pine, as become. BUT, not the rebels this is the opening track they are opening on a high. High flowing rock that rolls around The Globe the crowd are jumping with delight they want more and more of Danny’s power blazing vocals, they are howling so the next number is perfect for the atmosphere created on a Sunday night, live music that Is Howlin’ good. Broken Witt Rebels are tight, they are having a great time playing the music we want to hear. This is a band that will rise to the top as the music is hot, tasty and created by a volcanic amalgam of music that shaped the seventies into a creative free form delight of classic rock infused with soul and whisky flaming southern riffs. The beating, pulsing heart of the Rebels is front man Danny Core, his vocals and stage artfulness catapult the band to the top of the rock face of young bands with ambition. He makes every song distinctive, the phrasing shaping the lyrics and the rebel behind him provide him with a trampoline that bounces with musicianship that sparks with attitude and flair. The drumming is energetic full of dramatic beats and cooled with phrasing and cymbal work from James Dudley whose sticks rise high and create the percussive tone for every song. Adding to the rhythm is the bass work from Luke Davis whose deep notes give us tone that takes us deep into the crater of joy that is the BWR music. Up front and on lead guitar giving Danny structure and his own delicious lead breaks, riffs and the hooks for Danny’s rhythm guitar as he described his playing ‘I am just a chord monkey’, James Tranter is the guitar wizard. At times through the set Danny sinks to the floor kneeling full of emotion, this is not in praying but in victory as the songs leap from a title on a set sheet into full blazing live glory. There is another chilled side as Turn Me On demonstrated that new songs are being added to a catalogue that has depth and that makes a live band great. Closing out the brilliant sparkling volcanic rocking set was Guns, we all know this from radio play and the number of times they have played the back catalogue. The encore was Shake Me Down, Danny and the boys definitely gave everyone a demonstration of a rock n rolling shake down that made Sunday night fizz.

Short break and many of the crowd took time out to chat with the Rebels and buy some merchandise to take home. The Globe was on musical fire as the red lights reflected back the heat of energy generated by live music. With a young band from deepest Norfolk, there was nothing flat about the Southern rock infused quintet Bad Touch. The only task they had was following on from the dynamic crowd-pleasing Broken Witt Rebels to ensure the audience’s energy didn’t wane. Did they achieve this, Yes they did! How, Truth Be Told a mix of showcasing their latest album and the combination of front man vocalist and tambourine man Stevie Westwood, and a trailblazing secret, well not so secret weapon the guitar playing of the latest member of the band Harry Slater. The shape and approach is different from BWR, so we all wanted to hear the harder edgier rock from Bad Touch. Opening with One Night More, technical gremlins attacked the drummer George Drewery, who continued playing his loud hard drumming despite not being able to hear the rest of the band. Once sorted the band were firing on all five cylinders again. Completing the Bad Touch sound is Daniel ‘seeks’ Seekings on guitar and bassist Michael Bailey who add such depth and tone to the Bad Touch Rock. Highlights of the set were Sweet Little Secret from their debut album that hit the mark and Half Way Home. Bad Touch are a sure touch that they will be making musical waves that purr with a lion’s roar of dominance. They have a sound that connects, heavy, hard and full of licks and vocal refrains that are earworms. We had cowboy refrains with Outlaw, softer with a sting in its musical tail. Stevie whirls and swirls tambourine held high but it is his vocals that gain your attention they have an attitude that makes them compelling on numbers such as Words I Never Say and then a different tone with radio friendly 99%. This is a number that has a little extra with its huge chorus and energy there is much more to be heard from these young guns of rock. Closing with The Mountain, we were left with Harry’s guitar fireworks and Stevie’s gritty vocals singing in our ears. Live music made Sunday sparkle with Rock n’ Roll.
