REBELLION

 

Attended one of the best live venues on Saturday too interview Stone Broken. More or less on the corner of Deansgate and Whitworth Street, Rebellion is not only a great place to spend the night it also attracts some of music’s biggest names and top bands. Plenty of room with comfortable places to sit between each performance and a large decked area to sit outside without having to actually leave the club, the layout means when each band is live on stage the audience can get as close up and intimate as they want without any problems.

 

The big, long bar and friendly efficient staff means no matter how busy it gets you’ll never have to wait long for a drink whilst the guy on the door gets everybody past the merchandise and ticket office in a matter of minutes. Even the Aged Rocker got himself and his mates settled and ready with plenty of time to hang up his walking stick and grab the all important Stone Broken interview.

 

 

It also gave the AR a chance to have a quick chat with a new band called Salt Lake. These Brighton based rockers are tangible proof that Britain really does have talent it just doesn’t need to go on one of those horrendous Saturday night talent free TV shows and get on yer wick, have some overweight, fast fading celebrity pass banal judgment or sit there with a fake expression of gushing awe. Instead these three university students fronted by the charismatic lead singer and guitarist Henry Gottelier. Packed with energy, genuine ability and making their way in the business on being able to play and write their own songs, whilst they might be touring the UK on board the infamous white van and living from hand to mouth, at least they’re going about it the way it should be done. Good luck to ‘em!
