Gig review: Man & The Echo at York Basement

In a similar vein, Man & The Echo have over indulged in scampi and it’s affecting their performance. “Lesson learned” states lead singer Gaz Roberts. It should be a lesson learned to their more cosseted peers, it is still possible to deliver a tight and enthusiastic set even in the most adverse of situations.

The Basement in York is sold out on the Yorkshire leg of the band’s ‘holiday’, as they refer to it. The band are signed to record label 1965, run by James Endeacott, who has something of a track record of spotting emerging bands at the beginning of their trajectory, before providing them with the freedom to grow organically.
