Bruce Springsteen at Wembley Stadium forty years ago last Friday, a gig at which I was present.

Home Service at The Ropetackle in Shoreham on Saturday night. I had been struggling all day with various aches and pains and their knock on effect on my mood. I had to force myself to go to the gig. I could easily not have done. All of this melted away early during the first set. They were quite magnificent.

I did think Bob Fox was struggling slightly vocally early on. Nothing major. It just sounded as though his voice needed a few days off but it improved quickly as his vocal cords warmed up to the point where The Old Man's Song about half way through the first set was unbearably moving. Look Up, Snow Falls, Scarecrow, Peatbog Soldiers, Alright Jack all absolutely fantastic and proof positive of the restorative qualities of great music.

No Michael Gregory on drums though. Not sure why as he was on the recent live album.

If you don't know what Will is talking about here is the article https://observer.co.uk/news/national/article/the-real-salt-path-how-the-couple-behind-a-bestseller-left-a-trail-of-debt-and-deceit

I've always thought there were some parts of the story that were highly implausible.  Somebody is going to be very out of pocket if they do go to court...

Indeed; I’d prefer all the info in one message!

Interesting to see that after the Observer piece about Raynor Winn yesterday, Gigspanner have come out with an announcement to say that it is 'highly misleading' and that she is taking legal advice, and won't be appearing on the upcoming 'Saltlines' concerts, which will feature the new Big Band album instead (Turnstone - and very good it is too).
