Having seen Patchwork Grace a couple of times before and been impressed, I was certainly looking forward to seeing them again - they didn't disappoint!
Many bands claim to be unique or different from all the other bands on 'their' particular scene - but very few actually are.
Patchwork Grace really stand out as something a bit special - far less derivative than the other bands on the sleaze/glam scene.
There are shades of Garbage pop and Queen Adreena metallic edge in their sound, mixed in with a glam/sleaze rock image, but in a way that makes them really stand out from all the other clones on the scene.
They have their own charisma and when the hit the stage you feel you are watching a real performance, rather than just another band trotting out their songs.
They are one of those bands that grab your attention and keep you looking to see what is going to happen next - this is a real rock show!
I thoroughly enjoyed this band's set and felt like it was worth the admission price for their set on it's own, although to be fair it was such a good bill that I could say that about any of the bands on the bill - really terrific value for money from Pure Rawk at only a fiver on the door! 
And even after a highly entertaining set from Patchwork Grace there was still another band to follow...

The Bull & Gate stopped hosting live music in 2013.
