Soundcircel Flanagan at the Vibe




If you haven't heard Sound before you are in for a treat. Monday evening I went to his gig at the Vibe. The Vibe is run very well by Bratt Lunasea, and I always love to come there. Well - Sound cannot sing, but his guitar sure can. He plays his guitar to backing tracks, that he makes himself. They are amazing, and when he adds his guitar ...Well you have to come and listen to him.
He started out with Barry Manilow’s Mandy and continued with ”A little bit of green”, that he composed after having watched river dance on tv. Fyrm had to go home to get his green wellies for that one. There was a really nice crowd at the Vibe: Roni, his blue haired manager, Cher, Sin, Lara, Fifi, Bratt of course, Nya and some more that I didn’t know.
He played Gary Moore, Queen – great tunes and in Sounds hands they were lifted to a new level of melodiousness. His big idols are Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, and he saved them to the end of the gig. I have heard Steve Vai in first life, when he was a guest at a Dweezil Zappa concert, and I do think that Sound can compete with him, when it comes to handling a guitar. It feels like man and guitar becomes one. It is fantastic!
And oh –I forgot to mention Sound’s laughter. He laughs a lot, and he has a sweet, charming laughter too. And he has a dog called Summer, who sometimes snores during his gigs. Sound’s gigs are amazing mixtures of sounds.
