Leading of with a thundering rendition of
"Pieces Of Paradise" from the "Never Born to Follow" album
session, the song featured on the CD single "The Eye" (in
fact a classic Liberty Cage’s song) Paul & Swill bashed out
a pleasing acoustic set unfortunately to short for the enthusiastic
audience.
In only 40 minutes due to the curfew they
managed to played 3 songs from the recent CD: The Light, Mayday
Morning, Barrett’s Privateers and a still hot recording from
a busy afternoon session, the Trigger (The Trigger and The
Rising Road will be the 2 new tracks to go on the Twah Records
release of Baby Fishlips with Mick Thomas doing some guest
vocals and guitar on them), 3 TMTCH’s songs (Pieces Of Paradise,
To Have And To Hold, in fact this song was written during
Liberty Cage’s fruitful career and Going Back To Coventry,
a version full of memories for the fans of the band since
1984) and a Liberty Cage favorite Mercy Of The Guards from
The Sleep Of The Just record (some fans may have noticed Simon
Lomond on the crowd).
The plain catchiness of Paul & Swill’s materials
and the acclamation of the audience indicate the duo is ready
to promote the album, considering nevertheless this side project
will not affect the Men They Couldn’t Hang who will carry
on gigging into the new millennium, especially with the release
of a new album in a near future.
