Richard Cuthbert @ Brighton Up Bar, 12th Nov

“Richard Cuthbert has been around the block, and tonight he’s here with his three-piece band who, as per the Courtney Barnett Act 2015 that governs the naming of three-pieces, are now nicknamed the RC3. Stepping in at the last-minute to cover for Neighbours, we get treated to one of the most charming and lovely sets of geeky Weezer-ish fun I’ve heard in an age. Each one’s got a handmade feel but never comes off less than polished, it’s instantly engaging and it’s just utterly adorable. “Twinkle Toes”, “Now I’m On My Way” and the closing blast of pop gorgeousness that is “Swimming Pool” were stand-outs, but it’s grins all round. I wish I had more thumbs, so they could all be up.”
