Upcoming gigs

A busy few days of gigs coming up.  Richard Thompson in Portsmouth, then Olivia Chaney and the Kimberleys in London.  If the latter are unfamiliar, then have a look at their amazingly inventive video of ‘Tam Lin'.

Would love to see Olivia.  Never heard of the Kimberley's so checked that video out.  It's amazing, and beautifully played but (I thought) really strangely sung/paced.

Ticket price inflation is noticeable at every venue I frequent now. Even legacy artists are charging $150-$200 for nosebleed seats at large venues. Seats near the stage retail for $500, and you can't get them at that price because they're already gone when the general onsale begins. This is becoming an expensive hobby.
