By: Patricia (Tish) Mata Diana Jones: St Bonaventure's - Bristol– Alexander John – Support - Review Posted Friday 16th October 2009 ' There was a large colourful poster by the door into the venue that proclaimed “Better Times Will Come”. It was an advertisement for Diana Jones’ most recent album of that name.......Better Times will probably also come to Alexander John, a young blues singer from Gloucester who opened this gig. Great guitar playing and a tremendous voice that was so gravely it made Rod Stewart sound like an angelic choirboy. It was all played at a frenetic pace with little change of pace or mood but, that said, you’d put money on him having a bright future.' Keith Clark - Crackerjack Music Review So Glos – Music Event Listing - Thursday 22nd October Journalists kindly list a small local gig that promises to be a great 'close up and intimate slide-rockin, bluesy night in Gloucester - Cross Keys Inn.
