Here's Venue Magazine UK's review of one of my gigs from 2007...
'Ideally, tonight's venue should be wreathed in Gitane cigarette smoke as immaculately attired, moody Mademoiselles sip Pernod. Hollis Greene apparently divides his time between Paris and Bath, and is heavily influenced by the French chanson tradition and Gallic heavy-breathing genius Serge Gainsbourg.
How tres chic. Instead, après le deluge, we simply sit toying with a fruity house red. He's got a proper pop star name, a beautiful pistachio-green Gretsch guitar and a keyboard player providing just the right amount of accompaniment. Hollis has a big swooning voice somewhere between Billy Mackenzie and Will Young, and he sings of love and romance, betrayal, betrothal and the beautiful losers of ‘Heroin Chick' and ‘Please Take Me Home'. There's impressive craft on show, the space in the songs built from the melodies up, where a single Bigsby-shimmered chord is sufficient to hold a tune aloft upon gossamer strings. Perhaps a hint of the melodrama of ‘Life On Mars' - era Bowie, a song written in response to ‘My Way', penned by sacre bleu, a Frenchman. Encore.'
