Amazing.....That's Kappa alright!


To be honest I used to think Kappa were far too loud for me! When ever I passed the Cavern Pub after leaving The Shakers at the Cavern Club I could hear the music coming up the stairs! Just those few years ago though I wasn't into bands like Led Zeppelin really. It has only been the last three or four years I've picked up on them.

Then last November I decided to check them out and BOY was I impressed! The Cavern Pub was packed as hot as Beatles Week in August. I was impressed by Paul's AMAZING guitar playing and swaying hips, Tony's drumming..I've no idea how he keeps going for 3 hours in one gig and Martin's bass playing is FAB..not to mention the hair! They certainly work great as a band together!
Not only that they managed to do another 2 hour gig across the road in the Cavern Club almost straight after!
The band not only cover; Led Zeppelin and various other rock classics. Paul also plays his own songs which intermingle perfectly with the rock classics. Even I didn't realise he had written them himself they are that good! Just goes to show how talented Paul Kappa is.
The guys certainly have a lot more stamina than I will ever have.
I've also seen them do a full Led Zeppelin tribute gig a few times which has been truly amazing. I even got dressed up for the occasion, and I was about the only one!
Sometimes they have a drummer with them called Laura who is very good too (she also plays in her own band called The Tone Junkies). Kappa are off to America in August. I hope it goes well for them.
I have really enjoyed going to see them over the last year. It has been great fun! The best thing was me and a friend Rosie doing our little tribute videos to Kappa songs!
Now I'm off for a rest..I'm all Kappa'd out! Until next week!

Kappa play the Cavern Pub every Saturday at 7pm and the Cavern Club at midnight
