To celebrate his 25th birthday Davy rocked out with Simon at the Engine Room in Castletown accompanied by Steve Rowe on Bass, Lindsey Rowe on Keyboards and Nick Collings on Drums. Manx Radio’s Ed Oldham captured them following the gig.
Simon has been working with Suzy Starlite since arriving on the Isle of Man, firstly acoustic and now in a full inde-rock-acousto-punk band. They have been playing warm up dates around the Island in preparation for their first major gig at Mannifest in August 2012.
Suzy said “I am having the time of my life right now and it is truly inspirational working with such incredibly talented, professional and generous musicians. Coming from a more acoustic / folk background, I have never really been moved or impressed by the sound of an electric guitar, but now that has all changed thanks to Simon Campbell and his ‘Red Telecaster of Rock’! The level of tone experimentation is phenomenal and the soundscapes he produces are absolutely mind-blowing at times and perfectly translate the emotion of our music! He is an incredibly sensitive and dynamic player and best of all – we get to rock out big style!”
We are all look forward to hearing some recorded material!
