We arrived at The Station just as the band was about to start on the first set, we had heard very little about the band but as they’re new, what were the expectations?

White Noise is a five-piece heavy rock cover band. Most of you know Dave Lunn from ‘Tubesnake’ for his guitar skills, but what of his vocal talent as front man; we can honestly say we were blown away by his metal edge sharpness with huge vocal cords, a man who commands the showmanship around the stage with comfort and ease, a talent very few have these days. The first set opened with Thin Lizzy’s ‘Are You Ready’ followed with a fantastic rendition of UFO’s ‘Lights Out’ excellent solo spot on Montrose’s  ‘Bad Motor Scooter’ and one of our personal favourites Sabbath’s ‘Heaven & Hell’ Judas Priest’s ‘Diamonds And Rust’ Whitesnakes ‘Aint No Love’ Pat Travers ‘Snorting Whiskey’ an exceptional Deep Purple’s ‘Stormbringer’ and finishing the first set with UFO’s ‘Shoot Shoot’

Short interval and a chat with Dave & Ainsley then onto the 2nd set starting out with MSG’s ‘Armed & Ready’ followed by Sabbath’s ‘Symptoms Of The Universe’ an upbeat James Brown track ‘It’s A Mans World’ a particular favourite of Derek’s Thin Lizzy’s ‘Suicide’ with some fantastic twin guitar soloing from Ade & Ainsley followed with the explosive Judas Priest ‘Starbreaker’ the lads really starting to get into their stride and comfortably exuding their magical charm, quickly onto Motorhead’s Ace Of Spades’ everyone loves this one, all but me! AC/DC’s ‘Hell Aint a Bad Place To Be’ Ainsley (guitar) had told us for 15 years he had been missing from the circuit gigging, then surely I can only say a talent wasted, as there was no sign of any rusty edge to his playing and was a pure outstanding genius to watch on UFO’s ‘Rockbottom’ followed finally by Sabbath’s ‘Crazy Train’ the crowd crying for more gave way to the encore of Deep Purple’s ‘Black Night’

Tonight’s performance was a pleasure to watch along with Ade who played some great awesome numbers as a solo and together with Ainsley. UFO’s Rockbottom was in our opinion the best we seen on the circuit in a long time it was so powerful it almost blew Derek’s eardrums apart. Ainsley and Ade looked very comfortable playing together effortlessly as leads. Sean (drums) played a good powerful beat and lets not forget Mark (Bass) who was quiet at the back yet played very well and we’d like to see him more up front enjoying himself with the look-alike Mitchell brothers Grant and Phil (Ainsley and Ade)

This Band White Noise have gelled very quickly in such a short time this being their fifth official gig and although we are not heavies the guys are surely a class act who can make the non believers rock with their style, what’s refreshing  is the enthusiasm shown throughout the night and their banter with the crowd makes the evening a great night’s entertainment. Definitely a must see act
