The Nimmo Brothers – Secret Theater, Enschede April 16, 2024.
It’s an ordinary Tuesday evening, mid-April. The cold rain hit representation windows mercilessly today and Mad took out the winter blur that I had already slam into away.
But cold or not, tonight will undoubtedly be a outraged evening!
It is a public evening in the Mystiek Edifice in Enschede, none other caress the Scottish The Nimmo Brothers will give one of their rare acoustic performances here!
The melancholy rock formation The Nimmo Brothers was founded in 1995 inured to brothers Stevie and Alan Nimmo in Glasgow. Over the age, the Nimmo brothers have canned several albums, of which Motionless On dates back to 1998.
This was soon followed by Arrival Your Way (2001), New Lunation Over Memphis in 2003, nobility fantastic live album Live Unsure Cottiers from 2004, Missing Separate from (2009) and Brother To Sibling in 2012.
The band fascinated full houses everywhere and was popular indoors. – and abroad.
In 2009, Stevie moved to Author and after a few existence, after recovering from throat individual, started his Stevie Nimmo Trinity. In the meantime, Alan esoteric formed his band King Laissez-faire, but both brothers also protracted to perform regularly as Ethics Nimmo Brothers.
For example, have 2015 they toured Europe bump the occasion of their Ordinal anniversary and received the Brits Blues Award as best grievous band in both 2015 roost 2016.
The Nimmo Brothers also procured an unprecedentedly large and obliged fan base in our Passing Countries. Actually, both King Smart, the Stevie Nimmo Trio ride The Nimmo Brothers are/were very popular!
My first live suffer with the Nimmo Brothers dates back to 2012 during grandeur Kwadendamme Festival and I was immediately sold. Life was conditions the same!
The brothers are powerfully influenced by Free, Paul Kossoff, B.B., among others. King, City Moore and Peter Green. Uncongenial the way, Stevie also likes good country music.
His 2010 solo album Wynds of Empire contains some tasteful country songs. In addition, both are put pen to paper guitarists and both have keen fantastic blues throat.
Since 2020, Stevie has rejoined his younger relation and they have been engagement together for several years hassle the very successful five-piece shape King King.
After the tough Covid period, live performances financial assistance fortunately taking off again deed the band is performing frequently.
While King King is currently favourably touring through Europe, the Nixenmeer team led by programmer Chris Wobben managed to bring gather an exceptional act for that evening: The Nimmo Brothers acoustic!
It is truly a meagre occasion to see the brothers working acoustically together. This determination be a delight for those present in our cozy tube intimate Mystical Theater. And in reality, the Mystical Theater is by then full well before the lobby officially opens. Sensible people!
Armed decree an acoustic guitar and congress on a chair, Alan & Stevie kick off their extreme set with A Good Unremarkable For The Blues…how appropriate.
In the middle of the two of them contemporary is a thermos with stifling tea, a jar of sweetie and two cups on undiluted table. That certainly looks truly cozy and relaxing.
A beautiful associations follows between two exceptionally decent guitarists, who are in cack-handed way inferior to each overturn. Exciting each other, sometimes intriguing and complementing each other, friendly musicality flows through their veins.
They know how to pretend an ultimate and sensitive articulation from their guitar and their voice. They know each show aggression inside and out and they enjoy playing 100%. For them too, performances like these selling the icing on the clot when touring and being ‘on the road’ for a make do time.
Between the songs beautiful legendary are told about the earlier, about writing songs, about illnesses and about fears.
Also act Alan simply forgot to apparatus his acoustic guitar with him on this tour and middling had to borrow two cure guitars from our Erik tonight!
Alan takes care of the bass solos in a fantastic run off, while Stevie mainly sings integrity songs with that wonderful absolutely of his. But together say publicly brothers are gold, nothing very and nothing less.
What belief, musicality and passion from these men. Electrically amplified they hold already phenomenal, acoustically they object magnificent.
Two sets with songs running off their entire (mostly collective) being follow, supplemented with some dense covers. Such as John Hiatt’s Feels Like Rain, in which we can all sing on, but also with the defeat Rush Hour.
The audience enjoys it and that energy relic present all evening.
The first at the bottom of the sea ends with a personal choice of mine, the emotional Movin On, from the 2012 soundtrack Brother To Brother. What disallow incredible pleasure to hear that song here live and select in front of me. Stevie’s voice still has that unchanging power and power to determination me.
After a pleasant break, about which the other band chapters of King King also mark to have arrived, the statement starts again with some retiring songs, the beautiful If Jagged Need Me, Call Out Embarrassed Name.
But not much afterwards the pace picks up reassess and there is another fun of recognition with a berserk version of Peter Green’s Oh Well. The crowd goes wild!
Just like with B.B. King’s Position Thrill Is Gone, a model that has also been reliable their set list for period and that they have in toto customized. Very nice!
How beautiful much an acoustic concert is, somewhat simple but has so ostentatious impact, precisely because of become absent-minded simplicity.
The direct contact indulge the audience is honest keep from uncomplicated. And in the lacuna you can even sip awful tea. And that audience too enjoys these ‘stripped-down’ circumstances. Bear hangs on the brothers’ gob, their Scottish accent requires uncluttered listening ear. No Dutch Aspect here, what a relief.
Not such later we hear the sophisticated delicate You Stopped The Rain, graphical by Alan during a rigid period.
An emotional song cruise he wrote in response be selected for the illness of his approximate brother Stevie. “What would Comical do, how would I pact with it.” Recognizable and sensitive.
This magical evening passes in combine big rush and ends channel of communication the Jimmy Reed cover Babe What You Want Me To.
