Locnville - Born to perform

Locnville - Born to perform

When it comes to writing about Locnville, my aim is to explore what never has been, to bring to the light that which is hidden and to discover the answers to the never been asked questions. Just when I think there is nothing more about Andrew and Brian to be uncovered, that my passion for their music as well as my appreciation for them as artists cannot possibly increase, I am proven wrong.

I was recently asked to give reason as to why I enjoy attending their performances. I’d like to start off by saying that, in my opinion, a successful performance is based upon three things. Firstly, on how well the artist interacts with the audience as well as with the rest of the group or band, secondly, on stage presence and lastly, on whether or not the artist has the ability to perform live.

The artist should be able to captivate the audience, to in a sense ‘hold the audience in their palm of their hand’. Their passion as well as the love they have for what they do should be visible. There should be a connection between the artist and their music, as this in turn creates and ensures a connection between the artist and the audience.

Anyone can stand on stage with mic in hand and sing, but I see no point to producing the music without being able to perform it live. After all, a successful live performance plays an important role in being able to draw a crowd.

Andrew and Brian have thus far been, and I’m sure they will continue to be, successful in doing all of the above. When they perform the stage becomes their home, it is as if performing is what they were born to do.
