Better late than never, I guess. I picked up a copy of Stornoway's album Bonxie in a charity shop the other day, and ... wow! I know that a few people here (davidmjs, I'm looking at you) have promoted them over the years, but I just never looked into them.

This one is just brutal. He was launching a world tour in support of his latest solo album, after a triumphant three-year run with the reunited Swell Season. His music has filled this house for two decades. It’s going to take awhile for us to come to grips with the fact that we will never get to see him again.

The sound wasn't great in the first half with the lead guitarist lacking the subtleties of Harrison's slide guitar playing and the keyboards almost inaudible. But things improved after the interval and there was a nice ukulele section which included I'll See You in my Dreams.


Turns out that their usual guitarist had been taken into hospital for an urgent eye operation so they'd called in a friend to cover for him at short notice. Knowing that, I'd say he did a pretty impressive job.

Nev Clay.

Local songwriter  whom we treasure. In-store gig,  and his first such in 40 years,  apparently .
