Frozen Houses live @ The Inn on the Shore, Cornwall –

Cornish soloist Frozen Houses
(aka Alex) cuts a lonely and slightly hassled figure as makes the final tweaks
to his pre-set preparations which, considering he has the talents of Ashley
Height by his side, seems a little unnecessary. Nevertheless, this is a new
venue in a new place and that’s always a daunting venture. Needless to say,
once the music begins, all nerves and hints of unease soon wash away, soothed
by the soft acoustic notes and gentle vocals tones that have become a hallmark
for Frozen Houses.
A set of entirely original
material has the audience captivated and the songs on their own would be a
delight with their hints of John Martin, Badly Drawn Boy and Paul Simon all
played with a gentle ease. However, the subtle and beautifully placed guitar
notes of Ashley Height (he of Red Foot Crow fame) turn these from fine songs in
to wondrous melodies of the night that hold the attention and make time stand
still. Lead notes and some lap work give these Frozen Houses songs an extra
dimension but without excellent foundation there is no room for embellishment.
If a Frozen Houses live performance were a fine meal, I’d be recommending a
robust red wine to go with it, a comfortable chair and clearing yourself a good
couple of hours to savour every morsel. Fine stuff worth taking time over and
that’s a rare and beautiful thing in music these
