Great Set

Local band The Plea played a great set in Rosato's on Saturday.

They recently signed a record deal with a US record label after they were talent spotted playing in London a while back.

Usually it's just the two brothers Denis and Dermot who play in Rosato's instead of the full band.

Dennis had been out in Indiana helping with the record deal, so wasn't available but Dermot played with another member of the band.

High Octane

What marks out The Plea when they are playing just as a duo is the high octane pace that they keep as they belt out their songs which usually include a fair sprinkling of Bob Dylan numbers.

Many bands are a lot more mellow and slow the speed when there is no drums to keep them up to speed - but not The Plea.

They were actually playing with my mic stand as they forgot their own.

I missed a trick there. I should have taken a photograph of them playing using it.

I could have flogged it on Ebay if they became famous but I have no way of proving it now.

Thrilled

Once again The Plea thrilled the audience in Rosato's where they are favourites. Especially in the second half of their set the end of each song was greeted with claps and cheers (and a bit of hollering as well).

As they say in the X-Factor, they nailed it again.

They play every 4 weeks in Rosato's, so that would have them playing again on December 30th.

One fears that one day they will be snatched from us, that they will tell Eddie Harkin one week that they have recording and touring duties and they won't be able to play any more.

But for now, appreciate them while you can.
