Are you suggesting that doc might spill anything? When have you known a Scot spill anything (they may have bought)! French polish tastes horrible.

I’ll stick with the one I’ve had 40 years. If it ain’t broke………… Values shared by Yorkshiremen and Scotsmen.

One of my favourites from the eighties. I think her voice is even better now.

Yeah. I’m not going to pretend that I know what redister pins are. I googled it and am none the wiser so I’m back to being the dog watching the conjuror. I doodleg it and I think he means register pins... Peter Thanks Peter. I still have no clue. My ignorance is boundless.

I’ve been a fan of Ms Giddens for many years. She is a regular visitor to Scotland and I rarely miss her CONCERTS. Usually we are treated to Americana and gospel styles; music that affords Rhiannon opportunities to use that extraordinary voice of hers. This CONCERT was rather different. Her band consisted of Dirk Powell ( Cajun accordion, keyboards, electric guitar telecaster, Gibson acoustic guitar and fiddle), Niwel Tsumbu, a Congolese chap on various guitars, a statement that completely undersells his talents and performance, Attis Clopton on percussion, ( yeah me neither and had to google him) superb drummer, Francesco Turrisi, a jazz keyboard player and a guy on basses, double and electric, whose name I did not catch. All in all a very eclectic group and therefore so was the music. Jazz, soul, Cajun, funk and gospel. Utterly superb. Not, I must say, to everyone’s taste and there were a few seats that were empty after the intermission. I bumped into a friend who said that he wasn’t sure about all this electric stuff. It wasn’t quite on the scale of Dylan’s 65 Newport Festival performance but many were not happy.
Those who stayed were treated to an equally superb second set culminating in Roberta Tharpe’s “ Up Above My Head” that had the joint rocking. If you like a wide variety of music styles, and some of the songs had a blend of several, then, like me you were a happy camper. She, of course, can sing anything. A friend kindly gave Mrs doc and me a lift home so there were/was no chips. c/f Friday lunchtime thread.
In Glasgow there is a Royal Concert Hall; not a Royal gig Hall. Mozart wrote piano concertos and not Piano gigos. Just saying.

It’s already very beautiful. That wood on the back is especially so. Cheers, Francis.

I think I’ll just put it on a table and look at it. You take it easy now, Francis. We’re none of us as young as our wives want us to be.

No one listens to a piece right the way through any more. I blame Spotify!
