A Fans View: One Night At the Nottighham Arts Theatre
Ghosts and spirits did not float in from Ireland in soft and curling gentle wisps; they squealed love, passion and climax, loud and clear. This was a resounding, echoing tribute to late blues guitarist Gary Moore.
Nottingham Arts Theatre's plushness absorbed the blues and blues rock that gave Gary Moore and his friend and sometime colleague Phil Lynott world stature. ‘Give Me Moore’ is more than a tribute: it’s two hours of four top musicians playing at what might be their peak. A showcase of phenomenal talent, not a brash display of showmanship.
My overall impression as I stepped out into Nottingham’s buzzing nightlife and drizzle was that, had Gary Moore been alive today, this was the music he’d be playing. Tightly intricate, accurate and fast paced, with fingertips that flew up and down the fret. JoeyO is Gary Moore on steroids.
The evening began in pure soulful blues with the lead guitar rising to peaks, supported by a languid bass, a drummer whose precision left the hard work to JoeyO.
The atmosphere changed when the band launched into the sort of blues rock that I had
always associated with Thin Lizzy and some of those comfy chairs were emptied as hairless pensioners re-played their dancing days. If there’s a number that stood out, it was The Boys Are Back In Town. Drummer Manuel was stunning. His extensive kit got a complete work out and, if anything else had been around, it too would have added to the enveloping sound.
I was amused at the age range. Less than twenty minutes in and there was a steady exodus of blokes heading to the Gents. Such rocking drive has no age limit for its lovers.
Thank you

A truly great band led by an absolute genius of the fretboard. Loved watching the band play live and hope to see many more live performances in the future. I would recommend to anyone and everyone that they need to see Joe and the boys live. They’re a true credit to the Gary Moore musical legacy, keeping it alive, not by copying it but by playing from the heart, with passion and adding their own unique style. Absolute class
