Description
John Devlin Live At 12 Bar Club, London
John Devlin arrived in London from Belfast in the early part of 2000 and by the summer was playing the stage at the legendary 12 Bar Club for the OnlineTV.com Internet video broadcast. Here I present a lost set from the archives that I saved and offer up for fans. John’s incredible ease on the stage is only matched with the execution of his songs. Deep lyrics entwined with excellent knowledge of the guitar give us a picture of the star within.
Who is John Devlin
Singer/Songwriter John Devlin came from his native Belfast to London in Early 2000 and began putting together his new band. Previously he had been touring around Ireland throughout the nineties with his Irish group ‘North Parade’ before launching his solo career in 1998.
His music can broadly be described as pop/rock with elements of folk and country in his sound. You can hear everything from Lennon, Nilsson, Bowie and Weller to The White Stripes and The Strokes in there. What makes Devlin’s music his own is the blending of genres, direct and poignant lyrics and John’s distinctive and earthy vocals.
His new band consists of the classic line up of drums, bass, keyboards, rhythm and lead guitar. The band also features three part harmonies on many of the tracks. His band have already been making waves in the London gig circuit and in September 2003 played to thousands in Trafalgar Square as part of a Princes Trust event. You can catch his band on any given month at the Water Rats, Hope and Anchor, 12 Bar Club and The Troubadour.
John Devlin is in imminent danger of stealing the ‘Best Unsigned Band On The Planet‘ award. They really are the whole quality package…the line up, the songs, the look and the style…it’s complete and ready to market.
The band are best represented by ‘Six Down And Four To Go‘ although picking a favorite from their EP ‘Red Indians‘ is no mean feat…this is one superb EP. Six Down And Four To Go
