Raw Vibes Live "was rocking"!

Vibe 107.6 FM's very own Raw Vibes Live gigs returned at The Horns on Tuesday 23rd February to rock the venue.

Headlining act Eddy Smith and the 507 brought a soulful jazz-meets-rock vibe to the venue.

The five man band, which became the UK’s Best New Talent in 2015, played catchy hits like Temptation, which the crowd loved.

The London-based had a great blend of Blues, Rock and Pop.

Lead singer Eddy Smith's soulful voice is "where I want music to be at" according to BBC 6 Music's Huey Morgan. And what Soul he gave last night!

He said: "I'm happy a lot of people stuck around on a Tuesday night to listen to us. I loved it, it was great!

"We travelled quite a way to be here. So I'm glad everyone enjoyed it."

The night was opened by the lovely Christina Boonstra, armed with her acoustic guitar and girl-next-door vocals. 

Her quirky song "for people who work but don't get paid enough" made the crowd giggle until the melancholic tones hit home. 

Loop pedal maestro Cappellino with chilled, head bopping vibes, reminiscent of Ed Sheeran's Wayfaring Stranger rendition.

His charm was also very welcomed, as he told the audience how "well behaved they were", to ironic woops and cheers.

Next came Luxford. And wow, talk about rocking! The five member band brought a loud and cool pop rock sound. An Evanescence meets pre-2010 Paramore. 

Lead vocalist Meredith Jones was a delight, especially during a cover of Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine where her vocal range brought the roof down.

The crowd definitely enjoyed the vibe, with "awws" ringing out when the last song of the night was played by Eddy Smith and the 507.
