BBC Eastern Counties (March 2009)

The Stables, Milton Keynes – 7 March 2009

A joyous return to the Stables for The Bride along with Bride Virgins and no one who disappointed.  The first set friendly, unplugged and a guide to the great songwriting skills of Feeney / Lamborn delivered honestly with the devilish humour that sets them apart from just being another act.  It’s an initiation and conversion ceremony all in one if you have never seen them and homage to the fans that travelled to the revered venue. Act one drawing you into the love factor in song and musicianship.

So they changed their clothes a little bit and went straight into the unleashed songs from Vancouver 97 live electric and loud……. how could anyone lock these gems away for so many years? Only the beast of the business!  However, Feeney and Lamborn will conquer all that has evaded their success, why? Because every breath taken expels a note of hope, truth and vocal dexterity, dressed for the wedding… yet this band you cannot harness or tame. Never the Bride Rock, Roll and thoroughly entertain… you should have been there!
