If 2008 was a seemingly
quiet year, 2009 was to be the complete opposite as the
band returned to live performances with renewed zest, never
more evident than at the band’s February show at
Club 229 in Central London. Despite freezing weather, the
crowd was packed to capacity and the band turned in one
of their finest gigs, also under the glare of cameras filming
for a planned video release.
It was just the start needed to get the band back
on the road and throughout the spring, Colvex gathered
pace with a series of intense live shows before approaching
the summer and a series of big outdoor performances
billed as the band’s ‘Summer Spectacular!’ tour.
It started in June with the rare sight of Colvex appearing
live for the first time as a 2 piece at the first Watford
Live! event in Watford High Street. With Shaun absent
on pilot training, and with the help of some considerable
backing tracks, Simon and Gav played a fine set to
a busy crowd in baking hot weather. The following week
Shaun was back onboard for the band’s appearance
at the annual Croxley
Revels fair.
