GIG REVIEW VIGO THIEVES
VIGO DAFT
by Brodie Donohoe
On the 3rd October Vigo
Thieves played The Venue,
Dumfries as part of their
Vigo Daft tour. Support came
from Cammy Black Music, a
band from Annan. I am lucky
enough to have seen both
of these bands several times
and they never disappoint.
To begin with the relaxed
atmosphere of The Venue was
very strange when paired with
the upbeat rock music, but
it wasn’t long until everyone
was up on their feet jumping
around and singing along!
Cammy Black have great stage
presence and are brilliant at
interacting with the crowd.
Their music is incredible - the
mixture of guitar solos, bass,
drums, strong vocals and
even a harmonica fit together
perfectly. I would definitely
recommend going to see this
band live if you enjoy good
Scottish rock music!
“Vigo Thieves are
arguably one of
the best Scottish
bands around
right now.”
Vigo Thieves are arguably one
of the best Scottish bands
around right now which is
easily proven when you see
them live.
They have played festivals such
as T in The Park, Wickerman
and, a brand new festival of this
year, Electric Fields. As well
as their success with touring
they have been featured on
Visit Scotland’s Homecoming
2014 advert. Vigo Thieves
are an amazing live band, it’s
impossible to put into words
the atmosphere at one of their
gigs.
They have the perfect mixture
of upbeat rock songs and
mellow ones- along with a few
saxophone and flute solos which
all fit together into the genre
that they call themselves- Heart
& Soul.
Overall the gig was a great
success and I would urge you to
try and see these bands live at
some point- you won’t regret it!
