Taking a day off from mixing the new Rinaldi Sings album, Steve Rinaldi made his first live appearance in nearly two years at the IPO Festival in Liverpool. Playing two gigs in one day, just yards apart gave Steve a chance to test out both his new live band and a couple of new songs, including 'I Get High On You', a rewritten version of 'Give Me All Of Your Love', a song performed at Steve's previous live appearance some 20 months earlier.

A sizeable crowd packed the main tent of the Mersea Island scooter rally to see the first Rinaldi Sings gig for several months. With various band members unavailable, this was quite an unusual line-up: Tim Charlton returned to his bass role for one night, while Alan Groom, formerly a trumpet player with The Moment, and sax player Chris Daniels made their first appearances with the band. The set was very well-received and 'A Matter Of Life And Death' went down a storm.

Steve Rinaldi chose the Roadrunner club night at the Bullingdon Arms in Oxford to debut his new song 'Pick Me Up, Put Me Down'. As the whole of the 'What's It All About?' album was recorded before Rinaldi Sings made their live debut, this was the first original composition to enter the set in advance of its recording. The band went onstage just after midnight, following a complete running of the film 'Barbarella' as a backdrop to the DJ sets.

The first of two gigs in one day at the Mathew Street Festival in Liverpool, promoted in association with the International Pop Overthrow Festival. With guitarist Chris Borsberry out of the country for several months, the gig was most notable for the fact that the band's resident multi-instrumentalist, Tim Pannell, switched from trumpet to guitar for the gig. His trumpet parts were covered by soprano sax.

When not playing trumpet, Tim Pannell's second guitar and backing vocals again added a great deal to the band's sound. With cries from the audience of 'Avenues & Alleyways', Rinaldi Sings ended the encore with a reprise of their first single and left the stage with applause ringing round the hall.

Brimming with confidence in front of a packed house, Rinaldi Sings ran through a 30-minute set as one of the evening's main attractions. The tough crowd were soon won over by the big sound, and by the time the band got to the cover version of 'Everlasting Love', Steve Rinaldi's accomplished showmanship had caught every eye in the house. Rinaldi Sings finished the set on 'Heaven Knows' and exited the stage to allow recent chart star Mark Joseph to run through an accoustic set of songs from his album. After Mark's set, Rinaldi Sings returned to the stage to encore with the Mod Aid charity record 'What'cha Gonna Do About It', and were joined on stage by Mark Joseph, Andy Ellison of John's Children, Chris Philpott of Small World, a host of singers, and some thundering Hammond from 17 Black.

A one-off support slot at the 100 Club in London in front of an appreciative crowd sees the grand showman Steve Rinaldi and his band run through their tried and tested set one more time. After two gigs behind the kit, Richard Hunter this time augments on percussion, adding another dimension to the band. As ever, 'A Matter Of Life And Death' proves the stand-out song of the evening - although the magnificent set-closer, 'Heaven Knows', once again pushes it close on the 'clapometer'. A sensational gig review follows in the NME. “Welcome to the surrealist splendour of Rinaldi Sings” offers the NME, before describing Steve Rinaldi as “a cocksure 21st Century Scott Walker”.

After a fabulous reaction from the crowd the previous night in Bath, it was a shame that the band's first gig at the world famous Cavern Club should have been in front of such a mixed audience of foreign tourists and beered-up stag night boys. But the band didn't let the disappointment show as they performed their usual set with confidence. However, an appearance on BBC Radio Liverpool not only results in airplay for the single, but after likening a Rinaldi Sings track to ’60s pop legends Honeybus, the band receive an interested letter from Honeybus singer Colin Hare.
