Not a music   gig, but To Kill a Mockingbird at the theatre.   Excellent.

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?
Done

An excellent evening in the company of John Kirkpatrick, Sue Harris and Benji Kirkpatrick at Menter Rhosygilwen, Cilgerran.

Legendary talent on display and a lovely venue.

Also picked up Benji's Hendrix Songs and John & Sue's Live at Wyeside CDs.

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 .
