Backstage Pass - Peter Coulston (Seatwave review) Sept 2008

This lady from Colchester is happy playing country, rock, blues, ska and a bit of Balkan. She has a lovely, earthy voice which is particularly effective on dark, bluesy
numbers like “Pixies” and the slightly gospel “Didn’t See it Coming”. With a solid rhythm section and a lead guitarist who understands country rock and blues, the
overall sound of the band is professional and well rounded off with Ms Ava’s own guitar work on a Wesley acoustic with a slight bowl back and a beautiful tone. The inclusion of the old classic Louis Prima monkey song from Jungle Book was a lot of fun and very well received. They seem to play a lot around the Colchester area and,
if you are from that part of the world you may well have seen her. For my part, I hope that she comes back to London soon as I would like to catch her act again.
