Shireoaks Club, Rachel Barrowcliffe
Just dropping a line to say how much
we enjoyed the band last night at
Shireoaks. You were fantastic, very
professional. There was a great
atmosphere in the club....I think
you would still be on stage now if
it was left up to the punters! Top,
Top band. Great work guys.
Hoping to see you soon,
All
the best Rachel Barrowcliffe

G.L.A.M the band played at the pub
on sat 19 june. They were absolutely
amazing and produced something
totally different to any other band
I have had here. They do 70s
classics, all different styles of
music and worked really hard to get
an atmosphere going. They were
lovely people, and very
professional....well worth their
fee.

Went to see Trey's GLAM on Friday
night complete with the Maltese
cross guitar and Morgan Fisher
jacket.
Great fun, with all those glam rock
numbers from the early seventies
which I'm sure we all love.
ATWFM finished the second set with
Dudes being the last song of the
encore.
Excellent! It's nice to here a
couple of MTH numbers when you're
out on a Friday night for a beer.
Having said that my favourite was
actually Brownsville Station's
Smoking in the Boy's Room which I
hadn't heard for years.
So I vote that we start a campaign
to get G.L.A.M. on the bill with MTH
in October.

Review by Trudy Duffin, Black
Beauty, 15.06.08
The
Black Beauty, a pub in a residential
area on the outskirts of
Scunthorpe, sets the scene for this
review of local band G.L.A.M. My
first impression was a full pub,
with an attentive audience on a
Sunday night, waiting for four grown
men to begin and entertain them in
their typical 70’s Glam costumes…
Impressive Costumes, Impressive Set,
Strange concept.
The band consists of 4 members Trey
Patterson, Andy Thomas, Johnny Vee
and Jim Peters, and although Andy
Thomas was sometimes hidden behind
Lead Vocalist, Trey Patterson, due
partly to the size of the stage,
each member of the band left their
unique mark with the audience.
The audience was hit with an
excellent light show, and superb
vocals from the beginning, with Trey
showing a vocal emphasis mainly
towards rock as opposed to glam.
This was accepted by the audience
who are heavily influenced by the
common genre of the Scunthorpe scene…Rock Music.
To the untrained eye this band are a
polished and professional act, with
some strange song choices such as "I
Love Rock and Roll" adding to the
bands uniqueness. Although the
element of surprise, for me, was
taken away by leaflets on the tables
showing the bands set list,
personally for somebody who didn’t
grow up in the Glam era I would have
preferred to hear the wow factor for
myself instead of reading it.
However, I do have to say the use of
them for showing up and coming gigs
is a fantastic idea.
The first set came to an end with an
excellent song choice of "The
Darkness: I believe in a thing
called love", showing Trey’s real
vocal ability and impressive range.
A fantastic contrast for the band
and a fantastic crowd keeper too.
Set 2
brought back the band, still
role-playing their very own 70’s
characters, with "Devil Gate Drive" giving the
band the chance to interact with the
audience properly, something that
had been slightly lacking in Set 1.
It also gave Trey the chance to show
his fantastic keyboard skills and
the bands togetherness as a whole
shone through. "I love to Boogie"
finally gave the audience the push
they were waiting for and the Black
Beauty turned into what looked like
a closing scene from Dirty Dancing.
I do
have to say that this band is
definitely what
Scunthorpe has been
waiting for…Change. The quality of
the outfits maintained by Julie
Goddard, showed the audience that
not only are G.L.A.M a well
established band, they also took
their musical career very seriously,
something which is nice to see on a
local circuit. It was refreshing to
see that a band whose background was
predominantly rock could stand on
stage taking on a very different
persona and almost develop different
characters from their every day
selves. I would love to see these
guys in a bigger venue, with a disco
ball going and plenty of room to
dance around your handbags. I think
this is when G.L.A.M will really
shine.

Well I have just got to add my
comments on here today.
GLAM started out in the back room of
the Jolly so I was there at the
beginning.
There have been many changes and
many dead (drummers) bodies buried
in the garden on the way.
I have not had chance to see the
final finished product properly
until last night, other than sneak
previews at rehearsal.
I was extremely impressed.
I have worked with Showaddywaddy and
the Sweet on a couple of occasions
in the dim and distant past and GLAM
were equally as entertaining. The
band performed beyond my
expectations and entertained the
Jolly keeping everybody singing
along and swinging in their seats
all night.
Sound was spot on and apart from the
disintegrating microphone clip all
went without a hitch.
NICE ONE GUYS.
You even impressed the Dragon.
