The Flower Pot in Derby is a gem in the Midlands gigging scenes’ crown and over the years has seen many great names grace the stage along with supporting new acts like Inglorious and Kris Barras recently. Tonight it’s the turn of the Rainbreakers who are out on the road promoting their stunning debut album Face to Face.
The plentiful crowd enjoy a bluesy set from Andy Crowe before the headliners make their way to the stage, prompting a mass shuffle to get a closer look, only adding to the cosy intimate feel. Hitting the stage and making a great statement of what’s to come, the band launch into Lay It On Me and then take us on a guided tour of the rest of the new album. Charlie (lead guitar) is mesmerising and shows what a talented young player he is; the reverberating sound of his guitar against the vocal from Ben Edwards makes for a set highlighting the amazing talents on display here.
The show progresses beautifully through new and old(er) songs, before ending with the impeccably put together Heavy Soul which tonight sounds extra heavy in its delivery. Chants galore for an encore and the band are happy to grace the stage again, culminating in a glorious night for live music.
