The Fabulous Stephanie Jewel from The Rock Pit reviewed us.This is what she said...
Spinning Jacks were up first, opening the entire festival from the indoor stage. This was no mean feat – a lot of pressure is on the opener to set the tone for the day to come. But if you ever wanted to know what a baby would sound like if Amy Winehouse and Led Zeppelin ever procreated, Spinning Jacks is it! This is a band that works together seamlessly to bring you a sound that sounds so much bigger than just four musicians on stage. Singer Amy Thompson has a vocal range that is so beautiful and so powerful, reminiscent of Amy Winehouse. She is able to hit those low notes with ease while soaring back into the high notes without a care in the world.
Chris Summerfield on guitar absolutely shreds with plenty of wah and distortion pedals thrown in and a special nod to a riff as good as Brain Stew by Green Day. Liam Kinsella keeps the beat going with the bouncing deep bass notes. Supported by Stewart Bowley on drums and backing vocals, who I spoke with recently. Stewart kept everyone on time and hitting them harder than I thought was possible. From the faster songs to the slower ballads, nothing is going to stop these guys! Everything comes together beautifully and effortlessly to produce a powerful sound for the Spinning Jacks, and they were a powerful choice for a festival opener, setting the tone perfectly for a day of rock!
