Good morning! Bernard Butler plays in Porto for the first time ever today. Although is a song written by Bernard and David Mcalmont as Mcalmont & Butler that Bernard has been playing solo. As for Bernard the song gained a slightly different meaning than the original one of David’s words. In fact, for me, two meanings. Will Bernard be singing it tonight?
Bernard Butler today at Sala 2, Casa da MÃēsica, Porto, 9:30pm

Good morning with our Middle of the Week Song – Working On Me by Winter McQuinn & Acacia Pip. Have a nice day.
words: Paulo Carmona (edited by Raquel Pinheiro); photos: Telma Mota
The preamble serves to highlight the aesthetic evolution of the band at all levels. Whispering Sons developed well and got a place in their type of European rock.
The band is instrumentally cohesive with a very remarkable and secure well-structured rhythm section. The symbiosis between bass and drums works perfectly. In the melodic section, the guitar delivers sharp, strident and melodic riffs and knows how to respect the silences and dynamics that characterize the songs of Whispering Sons. The keyboards work as a safe network in a nostalgic tone that gives all that fog, at times thick, at times soft, sailing between chilling breezes. Up there, on the trapeze, Fenne Kuppens’ voice, dense, semi-hoarse, deep and disturbing makes the difference and imprints the stamp that characterizes the Belgian quintet.
Whispering Sons’ performance at Hard club presented a growing and coherent setlist starting with Balm, Something Good and Surface, moving on to Walking, Flying and Try Me Again. It was a concert in crescendo that left everyone, myself included, satisfied. The Great Calm, the band’s largest record is to be heard from beginning to end. And it was with a feeling similar to the album title that I set out on my way home.
