Tropic is a small music club nestling inside a football club In Ruislip, a bit of a way to get to for us but worth the journey tonight to see The Marrakesh Express. The venue was laid out with chair for tonight performance a nice touch or saying something about the age of the audience, anyway as the name implies they play the music of The Byrds, Crosby Sills Nash and a bit of Young. The band is made up of two members of Diesel Park West John Butler and Rick Willson and are join by Adam Ellis . As soon as they hit the stage we know we are in for a great night of music . Starting the first set with The Byrds they run seamlessly through a greatest hits package including Turn Turn Turn, So you wanna be a rock n roll star, All I really want to do, Go back, Eight miles high, Mr Tambourine Man and He was a friend of mine. The band was tight and you could tell they loved what they do and were having fun. Time for a break and then they were back as Crosby Stills and Nash , the playing and the harmonies were a treat to see and great to see to very talented left hand guitarists. The second set again was a greatest hits package with fantastic version of Wooden ship, Our House Guinnevere , Deja vu, Suite Judy Blue Eyes, Almost cut my hair, Marrakesh Express, For what its worth and Woodstock. Coming back on to do Find the cost of freedom/Ohio and then they were gone .A great gig and a band to look out for well worth the journey.
