Tonight, a Genesis tribute band at the Pavilion, Llandrindrod Wells.
They're called "The Watch" I believe.
Not really what we expected, an hour of Genesis tunes, a break, then an hour including their own songs, with excessive noodling.
The singer and founder of the band, Simone Rossetti, has a disconcerting habit of marching off the stage if he isn't singing at that point, like a coke fiend eager for a line. He has two mikes, one at the rear of the stage and one at the front and alternates between them without any visible reason.
His current band consists of Francesco Vaccarezza on drums, Andrea Giustiniani on lead guitars, Valerio De Vittorio on keyboards, synthesisers & Rossetti's son, Mattia, on bass, guitars and backing vocals. All extremely competent with Andrea Giustiniani outstanding at times.
Wendy and I would have preferred both halves to be all Genesis songs, we both saw them in the 70s and have happy musical memories.
Try as I might to be fair and even-handed, I can't recommend The Watch.
