Urban Reflection after Gary goes with Hip Pocket

It’s been a while since I hit my favourite haunt, Some Place Else at the Park Hotel. I got there just in the nick of time to and caught Gary Lawyer jamming with Hip Pocket. The man has a golden voice and to hear him belt out old rock ’n roll track from yesteryears is great fun. renditions of CCR and the Doors peppered with some of his original tracks is just what people keep coming back for every time he lands in Kolkata.

He also performed a track from his new yet to be released album for which he's signed up with Virgin records. Am sure it'll have a lot of takers once it hits music stores. His stage presence and the way he engages the audience is just phenomenal egging them on to join in on the chorus. The best part is that he's performed with Hip Pocket on so many occasions that he doesn't even need to rehearse. He just walks in and starts off.

These are the two blokes who don't really get seen but keep the crowd busy in anticipation till the next band comes on. DJ Austin has been player here forever and his young apprentice DJ Sumit is also quite accomplished at dishing out a well sequenced session of rock music.

Anyway that said, Urban Reflection took stage and were their usual best with some funky number.
