About Me


Andrea Marini live at the Liquid Ship, Glasgow - 15 February 2007
Last up to the microphone tonight is Andrea Marini. Impassioned vocals and storming, flamenco tinged guitar are the order of business. He remarks on the difficulty in tuning his guitar in the distinctly subdued lighting of the Liquid Ship. One day soon he will no doubt have a roadie to do that task for him. Failing that, any second cousin with a history of alcohol abuse and a personal hygiene issue will suffice. We liked "Trains" although we thought his guitar was going to burst into flames as he made those strings sing. His voice is like Tom Waits without the cigarettes. He plays that guitar like he has 40 spare strings at hand. Accompanied on many songs by the sweet voiced Eileen, we get an interesting sonic combination. She also plays the fiddle with a practised dexterity that seems at odds with the firebrand, improvisational style of our Mr Marini. BluesBunny had heard the recorded version of the closing song "Paris" before. A good song but truly brought to life tonight. We did not know that you could shake the walls with only an acoustic guitar. You cannot be indifferent to him. Perhaps irritating to some ears, Andrea Marini is indeed a compelling live performer.
