Festival Review : EuroYeYé 2010, Gijón, Spain 29th July to 2nd August – Part 2 of 2
On Saturday night back at the Oasis, the main gig venue for the festival, Al Supersonic and the Teenagers, an extremely professional Spanish band, opened the evening’s entertainment. The girl keyboard player had a dual and single Nord, and the band were very slick backing their guitarist singer. However the action moved up a notch significantly, when they became the backing band for Northern Soul legend Tommy Hunt. He had a great voice and an enjoyable selection of songs, including his hit ‘Human’. At the end he sang ‘I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself’, which he explained had been picked up by Dusty Springfield after she had seen him do it in New York. He said that playing at EuroYeYé made him feel like he was 21 again, and his infectious grin set the tone for a very well attended Saturday night session, followed by another all night dancing opportunity.
