This is <strong>Johns\u2019 <\/strong>first solo performance for a Manchester crowd, and he pulls it off superbly. His soothing hurt-ridden voice and introspective tales strikes a watery match to the hearts and eyes of the audience. <strong>Harry George Johns <\/strong>has certainly caused the audience to flock to him and with good reason too. (3.5\/5)<br \/><!-- more --><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Continuing tonight\u2019s consistency, <strong>Sam Russo <\/strong><span>is just as reflective but there\u2019s a sense of enjoyment in his acoustic stride. His stories, vocals and phonic flow are an absolute delight to watch and hear. Occasional vocal participation from the crowd is grin inducing; sing alongs are the key to such tightly done performances. <\/span><strong>Russo <\/strong><span>is utterly charming, and by the time his set has finished, it\u2019s a shame he couldn\u2019t stick around for more. (3.5\/5)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>There\u2019s a sudden energy to <strong>Tim Barry\u2019s <\/strong>performance on stage tonight; a sense of spontaneity grips him and wins in the set\u2019s favour. By the second song, <strong>Barry<\/strong> moves himself from the stage to the floor, testing the waters and grabbing a hold onto what emotion\/mood his audience is in tonight. From then on, it\u2019s all uphill from here &#8211; his southern folk twang is wonderful, his stage manner appealing, and you certainly feel as though this gentleman could be your new friend for life. Following no setlist allows <strong>Barry <\/strong>to be adaptable to the crowd, winning them over with surprises and heart-on-sleeve life experiences. By the end, one gets the gist that tonight was an enjoyable and momentous occasion in contrast to the grim weather outside.
