Wednesday 28th May
Apart from an extremely drunken afternoon at the Canterbury Fayre festival, and an appearance with Van Hagar at an after-show knees-up in London, I’d never actually seen Deborah Bonham onstage before. So I came away from last night’s album showcase at the 100 Club full of respect and admiration. Bonham – okay, let’s get this out of the way… she’s John’s sister and Jason’s aunt, but a gifted singer in her own right – has crafted a highly enjoyable new album called ‘Duchess’ (Rhino Records, June 24) that even features a guest appearance from Paul Rodgers on ‘Hold On’. Backed by a band that included legendary sticksman Jerry Shirley (making what was rumoured to be the ex-Humble Pie/Fastway man’s last ever appearance behind a drum kit), Debbie displayed a set of strong blues-rock pipes whilst previewing a broad cross-section of the record’s songs, including ‘Love You So’, ‘Grace’, ‘Jack Past Eight’, ‘Pretty Thing’, ‘Waiting So Long’, ‘Love Lies’, ‘Duchess’, ‘(If You) Had A Little Love’ and ‘Hole In My Heart’. There’s an interesting story behind the latter, which was brought to the band in semi-written state by Jerry Shirley, who’d messed around with it many moons ago with the late, great Steve Marriott. But the set proper finished in emotional style with ‘The Old Hyde’, a wistful, plaintive song that Bonham based on the farm in which her family used to live, and how she’s looking forward to seeing her relatives again. On paper it probably sounds cheesy, or quite possibly morbid, but Deborah sang it so beautifully I couldn’t give a damn.

Thank you for your lovely messages:

Great show on Tuesday, Deborah! Great to hear the new material again (well you did play a lot of it and the album at Riffs in November!), and see you and the band.
I also promise I won't tell anyone you didn't go back to the changing rooms to then have to come back on for the encore!! A great night and all the best on 24 June with the new album - I'll be queueing up from midnight on the 23rd at HMV in Swindon! All the best, Dave x

Hi Deborah. It was great seeing you on Sunday night at the Riga Bar and to meet you. You were so amazing; you blew me away. Thank you so much for the invite on Tuesday night. Graham and I had a lovely time at the 100 Club. Again, an amazing gig. Can't wait until the album comes out and we are really looking forward to seeing you again.
Love Valerie & Graham xx

Deborah - thanks so much to you and the band for a fantastic gig at the 100 Club last night! What an amazing atmosphere - such a sense of musical history about the place. Dave, Cliff & I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be telling everyone at Riffs all about it.
Great to see Pete looking so fit after his op - showing off his scars proudly! 'Duchess' so deserves to be a number one and I look forward to being one of the first to get a copy! Hope to see you again very soon - all the best, Steve
