The Unthanks (Big Band) at the Bridgewater Hall last night with the Royal Northern Sinfonia. 28 people on stage...so God knows how they make much cash at under £40 a pop, but good on them. Just absolutely gorgeous as you'd imagine. There was quite a lot of emotion around (my Sue's Pa died a couple of weeks ago) so tissues were required at times. Just very occasionally the subtlety of the band got lost but overall I'd say it was a resounding success. My favourite live band of the moment by a country mile (although if pushed, I'd probably choose to see the 4/5 piece in a small venue like the Trades Club.... Twas an amazing evening. As you say it was definitely a crying night, I've never seen anyone so nervous walking onto a stage as Rachel was. A few really deep breaths, but she soon relaxed into it. I was in the 2nd row of the Circle and even from there you could tell Rachel was nervous from the way she was talking. There were a few brief moments when it felt like Becky's band, I thought. She seems calmness personified. It all turned out well in the end. I loved it. Good to see Chris and his crazy beard back with them - I miss it when he's not present. |

Strawbs 5CD plus blu ray set of BBC stuff from Cherry Red.
I will probably end up buying thus as i'm a fan. Some of it has already been released (2010).. Blu ray is of no use or real interest to me. |

KC and the Sunshine Band, Saturday at ACL Live! I'll be shaking my booty, I will be your boogie man, and I will keep it coming love. See! That's the KC I was talkin' about! Jules I don't expect to see Mr. Fripp on stage tomorrow. |

Touch and go for a while, but I think we will make it to Manchester Bridgewater Hall for the Unthanks in large format orchestral mode tonight (bit different from the Trades Club the other week). It's a 20th Anniversary bash (good piece in Mojo btw if that's your thang). Sounds like a good evening. Hope you enjoy it, David! |
