‘Some Kind Of Feeling’ is the sixth studio album by guitarist, singer and songwriter Orianthi. When it comes to her curriculum vitae, there are very few that can match that of the Australian, Orianthi Penny Panagaris. The ultra-talented musician was hired by the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, for his London performances before his untimely death, and has also performed with Alice Cooper, Dave Stewart, Steve Vai and Richie Sambora (RSO), to name but a few.

If there was a league table for the hardest working bands, then Californian Southern rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck would be a permanent fixture in the Champions League positions. They tour Europe and the UK at least once a year and are continually writing songs and releasing new albums.

As my sister and I approached the venue, I began to worry that we were not going to make it to our seats for the scheduled start time of eight o’clock.

Support this evening was something a little bit different by way of Dikajee, self-proclaimed Progressive Chamber Folk Rock. The Russian (St Petersburg) born Olja “Dikajee” Karpova tonight was accompanied by Sarah Lambert-Gates (Daughter of the Water). The duo took to the stage unobtrusively with Dikajee’s piano and Lambert-Gates’ mic-stand adorned with flowers, with the front woman immediately addressing the crowd, “We’re not Blues; however, our music is sad and miserable…”.

Sign Of The Wolf is the brainchild of Fireworks Editor Bruce Mee, who along with Fredrik Folkare (Eclipse, Nordic Union) set out to write an album in the style of the seminal classic Dio-fronted albums of the mid-seventies and early-eighties.
