Egypt Impress 28/4/07

Norfolk band Egypt completely rocked the Crimea Tavern in Castleford on Saturday night with two perfectly played sets. This band have such high quality probably due to their pedigree being ex members of Dumpys Rusty Nuts and The (legendary) Groundhogs with Tony Mc Phee. With numbers from Howling Wolf, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Groundhogs and their own brilliant compositions, the band had the house dancing from the first number. After only three numbers landlord Jim Duggan said to me "What a band Steve, what a band!" Jim's right, they are a awesome band playing power trio material as powerfully as is possible. Three great musicians as tight as a drum put some of the so called top bands to shame. The band played The Boot and Shoe on Sunday afternoon. One RotN contributor told me he felt privileged to see the band!
