Lifesigns Webpage Review PicLifesigns performed at The Greystones on Monday 27th May. Graham Marshall, co-presenter of Sheffield Live!’s Spirit of the Wapentake programme was there – here’s Graham’s review.

Lifesigns released their debut album to great acclaim in January 2013 and have since been No.1 in Amazon classic rock and prog charts in the U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Germany, France, Italy and Japan. Their album sales show little sign of abating and as such the demand for Lifesigns to tour has continued to grow. They were nominated this year by PROG Magazine for their best newcomer award.

Lifesigns are: John Young on keys & vocals (ex Asia, Scorpions, Greenslade, Strawbs), Frosty Beedle on drums (ex Cutting Crew), Jon Poole on bass (ex Cardiacs & Wildhearts) and Niko Tsonev on guitar (ex Steven Wilson).

Graham and Bona from Spirit of the Wapentake review this relatively new Prog rock band that on paper sound as though they ‘cut the mustard’.. but its what they sound like live that really matters.

Joe talked with Spirit of the Wapentake presenter, Graham Marshall, about being back in Sheffield and discussed his projects planned for this year.

And he told Sheffield Live! that he’s looking forward to the launch of Sheffield Live Television.
