Comparing themselves to
Thorogood, Gary Moore
and Wilko Johnson, New
Worried Men are a rock trio
from North Wiltshire who
bring a fresh approach to a
somewhat jaded rhythm and
blues scene.
Playing at the Old Ale
House in Salisbury, the
crowd was entertained by
loud guitar-strong music
from the off and an
awesome set including a
lengthy drum solo by
‘Huggy’ (or “180lbs of
Chepstow Glory”) thrown in
for good measure.
‘Let Me Stand Next To
Your Fire’ rocked the house
and for me, a rock heathen,
evoked memories of
Wayne’s World, all skinny
snow-wash denim and long
locks.
Unlike many bands of
this kind, the New Worried
Men clearly have a natural
ability to entertain rather |
 |
Jamie Thyer
than merely play instruments
well. Jamie Thyer is the
undisputed star of the show
and could well have been
playing to Wembley for the
enthusiasm and
professionalism he showed
throughout, despite some
technical glitches with the
pub lighting.
If ZZ Top or the Hamsters
do it for you, you’ll love this
band – if not, you should
check them out anyway –
they’re sure to put a smile
on your face. |
