Review by Ian Pollard of GRTR!
It is an early start on Sunday morning for Sacred Heart, regular favourites here at GRTR! Paul
"Axl Bon Jovi" Stead fronts the band, which has seen a change on the drum stool, with Alex Burke coming in to join
Nathan Lark on bass, and Mark Stephenson on guitar. They open with the title tracks of their first two CDs, "Shake"
and "Lay It On The Line" - these establish their credentials as a serious rocking band from the off. Unfortunately,
the by now familiar sound gremlins return to wreck "Tonight". The rest of the set goes well though, including covers
of "Welcome To The Jungle" and "It's My Life" as well as a number of new songs from the forthcoming
"Darkness Falls" album - highlight of which is the excellent "Music Man" which really allows Paul to show
off his amazing vocal talent (he can thumb away at 6 strings quite well too).

An early start at CRF09 on Sunday morning however the Sacred Heart "choir" turned
up at 11am to see Sacred Heart play, as they played the audience increased. Paul Stead
(vocals, guitar) commented on
this and was pleased at the turnout.
They did a mixture of songs from the album Shake, the yet to be released album
Darkness Falls with a couple of cover versions. A nice blend of rousing rock tunes to slow tempo tracks with lively versions
of Welcome To The Jungle (GnR) and Its My Life (Bon Jovi).
After the show Paul and the band spent the day chatting with
friends and new fans alike.
set: "Shake", "Lay It On The Line", "Tonight", "Welcome To The Jungle" (GnR), "Best
In Me", "Down",
"Music Man", "On My Way", "It's My Life" (Bon-Jovi), "Top Of The Class", "Rock
'n' Roll Away"
