Blood Red Sky

Review: This band, as the name may suggest, is a U2 tribute band. They play tracks from many of the group's hit albums over the past 25 years. The lead singer DAVENPORT, Mark has more than a slight resemblance to Bono, if you close one eye. He is assisted by BAILLIE, Alastair (guitar) and OWENS, Ben (bass guitar), with LYNCH, Stuart (keyboards) and McDONNELL, Gerry (drums and percussion). Sadly this band has broken up. OWENS, Ben formed a new band callled Brassneck, but now plays with The Stylettes.

Rainmaker

Review: The female lead singer, Candy Harris, has a Janis Joplin quality to her singing. The band also has Stevie Baber (Guitar and backing vocals), Dave Shepherd (bass guitar and vocals), and Glenn Brickwood (drums). One of the guitarists wears a top hat, and the other a cowboy hat. They play covers of rock classics and some newer disco anthems by artists such as Bon Jovi, Cameo, Deep Purple, Dylan, Guns n Roses, Led Zeppelin, Meredith Brooks, Primal Scream, Steppenwolf, KT Tunstall, and U2. Simon Hall who used to play guitar has now retired, he didn't look that old to me.
