a good night

[ramtops]

went to see John Martyn at Colsonall.

he looked tired, but played a blinder, and the backing musicians were terrific, particularly the keyboard player. I went to look at the site when I got home to find out who he is, but there are no details there, and the site is really Not Very Nice. Perhaps we should offer to write a proper one.

was talking on IRC this afternoon to DHM (WINOLJ), who reminisced that he saw John Martyn play with Danny Thompson; now I've seen Danny play with *Richard* Thompson many a time. RT is one of my absolute favourites, and I thought I'd just nip on to Google and see if he's touring soon ...

and lo and behold, he's touring this month, so a quick phone call got us a couple of tickets to see him perform in Coventry on 16th May - hurrah!

and now, off to bed, Nite awl.

I am soo jealous! I've seen John Martyn about four times in Leeds and he's been brilliant every time. His music was part of the background to my life with Dave in many ways (esp. Bless The Weather, Solid Air and One World) - late, stoned nights and low lighting when we first got together. He can do no wrong! (Apart from the webite!) Richard Thompson is also a hot fave of mine and I've seen him at the Irish Centre here a few times.
Bums - don't know who I'd go with now...

that's one of the most horrible thiings about being on your own, I think - nobody to go with to concerts or the movies.
