Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is a certain gentleness, a confident kind of whimsical appreciation to be found in watching Charlie McKeon as he settles into what could have been a solemn affair slot at Strings and Things’ August session. It is a gentleness though that carries great weight, a simmering tension that underlines the depth of feeling that can be witnessed between one person and their chosen musical instrument and the songs that somehow beat and throb with the heart filled with unusual courage. It is a sign of wonder and aural beauty that has to be heard to be understood and loved.
