Armed with a playlist filled with strong riffs and energetic sounds the boys from Ascari did a great job kick-starting the enthusiasm of the audience. Early into their performance spectators began to edge closer to the stage, jabbing their arms in the air in sync with the beat. Their funky sound ensured that those unfamiliar with Ascari had little problem immersing themselves into the experience.

During the intermissions of the event, the audience was kept entertained by the spectacle of a 'beatboxer'.

Beatboxing describes the practice of using one's mouth to imitate the sound of instruments, rhythms and various musical components; and though the idea of such a thing may seem slightly frivolous — or even ridiculous — the results can be very impressive indeed.

Entertaining Intermissions With The Spectacle Of 'Beatboxing'

Here, the beatboxer behind the microphone did a great job keeping the audience interested, with his unique performance and the conjuring of a wide-variety of different sounds — producing bass that quite literally shook the floor and made Barry White's voice sound helium-rich and speciously diminutive.

Next on stage was a Pembrokeshire-based band named with the supremely unglamorous title of the Pennysows. Milford Havens indigenous Pennysows are composed of five members and put on a good performance for the expanding audience — initiating a retinue of raised hands around the stage.

All of the Pennysows' band members appeared very comfortable on stage and the lead singer in particular presented a very confident performance; creating a facet of authenticity for the band.

However, unfortunately some of the Pennysows’ songs are deficient in both quality and refinement — such as the crass composition of SuperSiderSunday (with its irreverent lyrics and lack of substance it's rather difficult to take seriously). That said, the Pennysows easily succeeded in entertaining an excited crowd and breezed through the performance with much appreciation from the audience.

After another short burst from the intriguing human-synthesizer the Blims took their positions, ready to showcase some new material from their latest release.

The band got straight down to business and performed a variety of different material that really got the audience into a frenzy; their style of music contains a certain intrinsic 'feel good' factor that works a treat when played live to an enthusiastic audience.

Cameras clicked and beer bottles were sipped as Martin Dann showed the fans that he could quite easily justify the quality of their new album by the strength of his live performance.

The Blims own a repertoire composed of some very strong material and great performances of songs such as 'Sometimes' and 'Thinkin’ had the audience happily echoing Martin's lead vocals.

The audience, completely captivated by the Blims' performance, remained glued to the stage till the very last vibrations of the guitar strings.

The audience, completely captivated by the Blims' performance, kept their enthusiasm through a cumulated wall of heat and remained glued to the stage till the very last vibrations of the guitar strings.

The Blims had achieved exactly what they wanted — they had proved that their latest album fortifies them as a band on the move; a band with huge potential and the ability to please a wide-range of listeners with their 'Working Class Poetry'.

For more information on the Blims' up-and-coming live events please visit The Blims' Website where you’ll also find sample tracks and video clips. Both of the Blims' albums (viz. Tell Everybody and Working Class Poetry) are available for purchase from itunes and the Blims' Website.
