Dan Reed And Danny Vaughn Bedford Esquires 31-5-18

This gig was was a make up one for all of the people who were unable to make the original date in March due to the snow.In fact the lucky ones were the 9 people who made it to the first show and got to do it all over again.

Snake Oil And Harmony dates are never the same with no set list and fan requests the norm.You don't go to hear all of their greatest hit's you may be lucky to get one or two but expect a nugget from their extensive career.

Tonight's show was 2 hours and 10 minutes of wonderful vocal's,stories,laughter,tears and 2 of the most incredible musician's on the planet laying themselves bare.

Here is what they played.

Smile (Dan Reed)
Circle The Wagons (Danny Vaughn)
Only Love (Dan Reed)
The Last Sunset (Danny Vaughn)
Aberfan (Dan Reed)
Reach (Danny Vaughn)
Tiger In A Dress (Dan Reed)
Think Of Me In The Fall (Danny Vaughn)
On Your Side (Dan Reed)
Copperhead Road (Danny Vaughn Steve Earle cover)
I'm So Sorry ( Dan Reed)
Seasons (Danny Vaughn)
Avalanche (Dan Reed)
Remember When (Danny Vaughn)
Distant Star (Dan Reed)
Letting Go (Danny Vaughn)
Where The Water Goes (Dan Reed and Danny Vaughn)
Ritual (Dan Reed)
I Will Fight No More Forever (Danny Vaughn)
Salt Of Joy ( Dan Reed)
Encore of Lay Your Body Down (Danny Vaughn)

It was all a highlight with vocal's to die for and pure emotion that few can match.
Dan's take on Aberfan was incredible and you could feel the tension and heartbreak in the air as the hair's on the back of my neck stood to attention.
 At the other end of the spectrum was Danny Vaughn talking about Roy Orbison's Blue Bayou which he then sang a part as Roy and the rest as Porky Pig.You had to be there!!!!

They promise to return in 2020 with an album of material due to be recorded next year.

Can't wait.

Stunning.
