\nThere is a new night for up and coming bands @ Seven<\/a> bar in Chapel Allerton called The All New Whistle Test. This week Andy, Mike and I saw two very different acts for a credit crunch busting \u00a33.00 entrance fee.<\/p>\n

First up was finger picking guitarist Troy Faid<\/a> who reminded me of Adrian Legg <\/a>in style. He had a flat piece of wood that was hooked up to a mike somehow, and when he tapped his foot on it, it sounded like a bass drum. He was joined on a few numbers by clarinet and a wonderful slapping double bass (I love that sound) but it was the intricate guitar work that stole the show the fingers on the fret seemed to be picking out a tune of their own whilst holding down the chords as well – superb stuff.<\/p>\n

\"Tony<\/p>\n

Next up were Elephants On Acid<\/a> a blast from the (Deep Purple-esqe) past. Theyve got a great bunch of songs, most of which are Bass line driven. The Russian (or German?) lead singer had enough enthusiasm to get people up dancing, I just wish his guitar had been a shade higher in the mix. Songs like Hyde Park Blues\u009d let you know theyre locals too. Terrific energy and great fun A great night!
