Jeanice Lee (that’s pronounced ‘jeen-iss’) is the opening act
tonight and she delivers an intriguing set. A comparatively late starter
in music, Jeanice has already demonstrated her song writing and vocal
quality on self-funded debut album ‘Beyond Never’ which she is promoting tonight.
Sensibly, Jeanice has surrounded herself with an experienced band,
notably Marco Morelli (Baader-Meinhoff Experience, Heartbreak Diet) on
guitar who shines throughout. It’s difficult to label the music; Hong
Kong-born Jeanice brings a beautiful, distinctive voice and poetic
lyrics – there’s ballads, blues and classic riffs but its always
melodic.
After overcoming a slight wardrobe malfunction, Jeanice
visibly grows in confidence throughout the show. It’s a strong
performance and they finish with album closer ‘Let the Music’ which is
about following your dreams – exactly what the lady is doing.
The
band will be playing the NR Rocks charity gig at The Dreadnought on 3rd
August and The Wee Red Bar in Edinburgh on Wednesday 21st August.
