A review by Tom Girard
After the return of live music to stages in Guernsey two weekends ago with the end of localised lockdown and then the Vale Earth Fair staging their first fundraiser of the summer last weekend at The Fermain Tavern, Friday 3rd July saw St James Concert Hall throw open its doors once again to begin a packed month of shows with The Recks and the newly formed Mike Meinke band.
While his original plans for 2020 had involved touring Europe with his band The Other World, Mike Meinke found himself back in Guernsey as France, and then the island, went into lockdown leaving him separated from his band mates so, just before the local lockdown, he put on a show accompanied by Brunt drummer Squirrel and The Honest Crooks/Skyscrapers bass player Charlie Holmes.
