UK Tour 2023: Newcastle Cluny

Day two of the tour, and up to Newcastle to play at a lovely venue, The Cluny.

“The Cluny2 in Newcastle for me last night to see indie band Red Guitars, and I donโ€™t have enough superlatives to describe just how good they were. Simply outstanding!

Not only did they breeze through rousing versions of old favourites from Good Technology, along with a few new tracks, but they also oozed charm throughout, with each member displaying true enjoyment at being on stage and really engaging with the audience.

A huge plus for the 6-piece from Hull is the quite wonderful sound from their four-guitar set-up. Some of the nimble playing from the barefooted lead guitarist was just mesmeric and could easily have stopped you in your tracks – if it wasnโ€™t for the sensational beats coming from all angles to make the most stubborn of limbs shuffle, sway, rock, dip and swagger.” Darrell Aspery

“Thanks for an exceptional gig tonight. You clearly show how much you are enjoying playing together again – including the new songs which sound great. I picked up the Good Technology CD from the merch table and played it full blast in the car on the way home. Fact! Thanks Red Guitars.” Kyle Calvert

“Guys, the gig tonight was sensational, one of the new songs (Beyond the Blue) was brilliant, reminded me of Calexico, but with a Hull twist! Hope the rest of the tour goes well.” Eric Hindmarsh

UK Tour 2023: Manchester Night & Day

“Red Guitars were on fire last night” Jonathan Wood (Twitter/X)

“They had great songs, cutting lyrics and a guitar sound to die for, but were their tastes too eclectic to hold an indie audience who rarely strayed out into the sun? In the cold light of day it seemed like a good question. In the live arena, however, every doubt was blown away.

Having seen many band reformations we can genuinely say that very few have been as enjoyable, edifying and heart-warming as Red Guitars were in Manchester. We always say that if you are going to be in a band then look like you are in a band, and the Red Guitars looked fabulous. Obviously they were older, but they were dressed to the nines and, really importantly, they all had fabulous shoes, with Jerry’s red suede numbers particularly splendid….They received a great reception and appeared delighted; it was incredibly well deserved. This was a terrific evening, one of the best of the year.” Adam Hammond, Isolation Records
