Malcolm Holcombe, Tricks Of The Trade. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Don’t ask someone to teach you the tricks of the trade, if you are not going to learn the hard lessons that trade is willing to demand of you.

However, life itself is more than willing to be a demanding teacher, you may have been round the block more than a few hundred times, hopefully scratched more than the surface of your chosen pastime, genre or love, and yet, indisputably, unarguably, the Tricks of the Trade evade us, for we are always presented with a chance to learn a new part to the machine we have tied ourselves to, or maybe the moment to realise that we are free to consciously admit that the surprise of an unexpected treasure that has been around for so long and yet we have only just taken the ribbons of pleasure off.
