Lucinda Williams !
Saw her last night and was lucky enough to be sitting 12 foot away from where she was standing to sing. Very good performance with a backing band that seemed to enjoy what they doing.
The amazing thing is she is about 70 years old, has had a stroke and finds it difficult to walk, but still managed to sing for over 2 hours and captivate the audience.

Alex Garnett & band at the 606 Club last weekend - wonderful tenor & alto playing.
Tom Ollendorff & band at the Vortex on Saturday - magical interplay of guitar, piano, bass & drums.

Richard Dawson at Cafe OTO on Saturday - benefit for Resonance FM. Seen him before at festivals and at the Barbican, with full band and loved it. Here, solo in a small venue up close was absolutely magical.
Great support from Kamara Obscura.
I love going to Oto so much, I should move to Dalston and just go every night!

The Wife has got us tickets for Joe Jackson in Leicester in October. Excellent. De Montfort hall is a great venue.

I saw Masego a couple of weeks ago. An excellent gig (as always - I've seen him a few times before).
Multi instrumentalist. A ridiculous amount of talent on display.
The only negative was no records on the merch stand to buy.
I also took my 18yr old nephew to this. Huge music lover, like me... His first gig ever.. An excellent first gig to go to.

Robert Plant & Saving Grace last night in Tunbridge Wells.
Superb gig, great playing and great sound too. Percy still a legend.
Unfortunately, it seems that these days it's pretty tough being a rock god of a bygone era...

Post-gig, before the poor old fella had even left the building:
Reminded me of the Spinal Tap vs Puppet Show top billing sequence...

Can't find it on the net right now, but I've seen a picture of a cinema poster (in Liverpool?) that says "Tonight: Bob Dylan. Tomorrow: The Sound of Music".Robert Plant & Saving Grace last night in Tunbridge Wells.

Bridgewater hall, Manchester, last night. With the Halle orchestra.
Mainly to hear saxophonist Jess Gillam.
first up Brittens “ four sea interludes”. Couldn’t get into it. First time for years hearing a full orchestra and there was just too much going on.
next up Jess Gillam playing “ Briggflatts” by John Harle. Some lovely writing and moments in orchestra ( 3 movements) and some really lovely sounds from soprano sax. But overall I felt the Music was too busy, and overpowered the sax . She has a great sound, but often could hardly be heard. One sax against full orchestra of 60!!!! I could often hear the trumpet over the top of the soloist !!!
Didn’t work for me.
smaller/ chamber orchestra would have been much better, in my humble opinion.
she played a solo encore, which was wonderful, and gave a chance to see what she is about. Loved it.
second half. Sibelius symphony number 1……yes……loved this
