IRVINE, Scotland The first unplugged gig by Mike Hall and Adam Howells was a terrific success, with a great response from the SOLD OUT Irvine audience. They return to Irvine in September 2019. Future Classic Clapton unplugged shows are planned eg Kinross in December 2019. Music lover Tom Mccrorie posted this comment on Facebook:- Brilliant acoustic concert last night at The Harbour Arts Centre in Irvine. Mike Hall not only looks like Eric Clapton but can play guitar like him. His sidekick on the gig was Adam Howells who was superb. All the old favourites from across Eric's albums. "After Midnight" is the acoustic duo from the full "Classic Clapton" tribute group and for my money, they sound more like Clapton. Mike's voice is amazingly similar to Clapton's and seems to be getting better with age. Adam's backing vocals were perfect and he also fronted a couple of numbers himself. Great show and I will definitely book up for the next one. |
