As I understand it Vikki has moved back to Uk from New Zealand. Apols for getting the spelling wrong in the subject header - can someone correct, please? |

Interesting! I've got to be say I've not really been paying attention. Is she on record with him, or is it all just live stuff? So far I think she's joined him onstage for part of his solo sets. That's what we got at the Warwick Fest last year. But from her FB post I think she's contributing backing vocals on RT's next studio album which is due out later in the year. I have to say I agree with Dan in that she's a good enough singer but after two or three numbers at Warwick I had hoped she'd leave the stage and let himself do the rest of the set on his own. I'd be interested to give her solo stuff a listen. She posted some photos of when she supported Dave Mason a few years ago saying he was incredibly kind to her. The one singer I'd really like to hear with RT is his daughter Kami. I don't know if the Thompson family are planning any more gigs. I saw them at Warwick too. I agree with Dan in that I don’t want to be mean but for me she adds little and in fact detracts from some of the songs .She takes tge edge off some of the songs and it becomes a bit twee. I first saw her with RT at Cambridge folk fest when she did a couple of songs , very much as an addendum ar side of stage. They obviously travel together so presumably decided to play together . |

BBC2 Saturday night Joan Armatrading in concert. Lovely set with some wonderful lead guitar from Jerry Donahue. So nice to see him again.

Some weeks ago someone sent me a message on FB with a link to a Soft Machine gig in Coventry, at the Albany Club in Earlsdon, about a 10 minute walk from where I live. So I thought it would be rude not to go. Venue was very busy, with not enough tables/chairs out, and after a bit of chaos the organiser admitted he'd never been so busy and this was the best turnout for the Jazz Club he'd ever seen. They were excellent, playing a lot of new stuff and some classics, including Facelift, Joy of Toy, and Hazard Profile. How much of it got played (i.e. just Part One, I'm guessing)? Probably my favourite Soft Machine track from my favourite Soft Machine album (which normally makes other Canterbury fans guffaw.... It's also my favourite SM album along with Third. They just did part 1, but it was altered quite a bit from the album. |

Lindisfarne at Exmouth tomorrow evening. Should be fun! You wont hear anything from the last 30 odd years, just wall to wall classics and a fabulous time to be had. We are seeing them on Monday at the, long sold out, theatre in the round, and again in June at the Boddelwyddan festival. Enjoy. |
