Elly Roberts reviews
Nature Of This Town
The Moss family of Trevor, Hannah Lou, Bee , Lil-Daisy, Simon and Mel make upa formidable septet. Their unique brand of bluegrass and folk are thrillingcrowds across the nation. This punchy jaunt will get everyone on their feet withits feel good party hooks as the multiple instruments mandolin, banjo, percussion,bass etc run riot on this stylish Hillbilly gem.
Shades of the Carter family come gushing through and wouldnt go amiss on theOh, Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. B-side, Are You Leaving ForThe Country? finds them in mellower mode, with a more simplistic format,just singer and guitar, working with equal finesse and quality.

Elly Roberts passed away in 2011, but he was a man who was so passionate about all types of music and loved meeting his musical heroes, such as Mick Hucknall at a book signing at the Trafford Centre, Manchester in 2007.
A former teacher and also a music journalist, DJ and radio presenter on local community station Calon FM, plus appearances on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio 2, Elly started doing reviews for DVDfever.co.uk in 2004 and he did the majority of the CD and concerts reviews on the website.
I know also that he loved getting away for the summer to Spain and I hope that wherever he is now he is enjoying the hot sunshine and, as one of his friends has said on his Facebook page, that he is interviewing his musical heroes.
