Arizona
Palladium
Bideford, Devon

One does not exactly expect to find a band performing southern rock & blues in deepest darkest Devon, but that is just what I found last Friday night. I understand that the band are very popular on the pub circuit in the South West of the UK, and it is very clear to see why. The veteran outfit, 10 years and still going strong, produced two strong sets of both country rock classics ('Sweet Home Alabama', 'Gimme Three Steps', 'Mellisa' and a stomping finale of 'Freebird') and a few originals (TV Crazy, Window Shopping', and 'Down at the Doctors'). It was a full house and the punters seemed rather pleased. They are regulars at the venue, having recorded their two-CD live set there in May of this year. During the break and apres-gig the band were doing a nice side-line in selling their CD (available as either a one or two CD colllection). I shall be reviewing the CD later this week. Craig Eason & Co provided the punters with a wonderful range of soulful tunes. It's pub rock as it should be; a rocking good time.

Found your article about the band "Arizona" and that they have performed a song called 'Down at the Doctors. Is this the song written by Mickey Jupp? You have also mentioned that you will review there two?!? CDs.
I can't find that review(s) anywhere. Is it possible to get a copy?
Do you also know where those records can be found?
Sorry for the late replay to your article, but better late than never.
