I think the last couple of times I've seen him (last was 2022) he was designated driver, which raised a bit of a laugh from the audience when he mentioned it. I did wonder if it was just a jokey polite way of saying "I'm not drinking sh1tloads and please don't offer me a drink" |

John Bramwell and the Full Harmonic Trio in Chester last night. Just the most wondrous gig - musically, practically, everything. John knows how to write a beautiful song - every single one of his can touch the heart in a very special way and some of them, oh my God... If the trio are in your neck of the woods (and they are) don't miss out... https://johnbramwell.com/tours He really is superb. Were his song intros up to their usual standard? eg. 'This is another song about drinking, and disaster'. Its a shame I Am Kloot never really made it. Hopefully John will get some recognition one day. He deserves a far higher profile. Unusually he was stone cold sober (designated driver duty apparently) - sipping a pint throughout but only having about half of it. He was wryly funny - lots of engagement. I do think Dave Fidler has made a significant positive contribution to John's life and career - and not just musically. His own set was bloody excellent too. Having been in a crowd of 2000 people watching I am Kloot and singing every single word, I think that 'never really making it' needs some contextualisation. I'm not sure John would still be around today if they had massive success, mind...Who knows. If you don't know this guy, for your own sake, in the name of all that is holy do check him out... Fair enough it does require some context. I suppose somewhere towards what Elbow achieved, at a level that could have sustained the band but not pushed them over the edge. I don't hear many I am Kloot songs on 6 music, let alone Radio 2, and not many people I know, and who would definitely like them, have even heard of them. But as you allude to, be careful what you wish for. I think the last couple of times I've seen him (last was 2022) he was designated driver, which raised a bit of a laugh from the audience when he mentioned it. |

Neil Young and Crazy Horse, rained out tonight.
We trekked 25 miles to the Circuit of the Americas race track/amphitheater for Neil, but the sky opened up right after we arrived around 6:45. The rain stopped after an hour or so, but the lightning never ended. All the bars and concession stands were now closed, so there was nothing to do but wait. At 8:45 or so, they asked everyone to leave. I can't really complain; I don't want Austin to be responsible for electrocuting Neil, his band, or his crew. Staying tuned for an announcement regarding rescheduling/refunds. I hope I can attend a rescheduled date, but you never know. |

 The first album I ever bought was a Duane Eddy album. The first tune I ever picked out on a guitar was Rebel Rouser. It was his twangy sound, oddly, that led me towards playing bass. R.I.P Duane. |
