Saw the amazingly talented Bill Ryder Jones last night in Bristol. Also managing to find music in smaller local venues which is good to support. Discovered a great new band callled Bramwell, came all the way from Torquay to play to a crowd of around 50 people in Newnham on Severn.

Just home from a great night at The Forum, Tunbridge Wells seeing The John Martyn Project. Absolutely brilliant, such a talented band having such fun. At one point the power failed on their instruments and equipment, so they quickly rearranged to acoustic only with the crowd singing along happily. Then with power fixed, thundered into great finishing tracks.
I never considered myself a John Martyn fan, but tonight I've been converted into at the very least a John Martyn Project fan.

An excellent gig last night from The Gavin Bryars Ensemble (with Gavin Bryars playing) at Canterbury Cathedral, a celebration of his 80th birthday. Fabulous venue and acoustics! 3 pieces were played: The Flower of Friendship The Sinking of the Titanic and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me (yet) Outstanding piece was The Sinking of the Titanic - absolutely awesome πππππ Jesus' Blood went on a bit, the LP version of the track is 26 mins, tape version 60 mins and CD version 72 mins but tonight's was around 35 mins long, so relatively short but, folk started shuffling in chairs and occasional murmers could be heard, perhaps 25 mins would have done the job A darn fine evening and a good cause as there were collections for PorchLight β€οΈ

Del went to see the Hives in the Barrowland, it was great gig but he managed to raise the average age of the mosh pit by 50%
It was a great gig and the hives are one of the best live bands Del has seen. It also reminded Del of his teenage years going to thrash metal gigs as these were packed with teenagers soaking up this new form of music.
A few day's ago Del and some mates when to see Blind Guardian, the band were great but the venue was poor (bad sound, lighting, small stage, concrete floor and a shorten setlist thanks to a venue imposed curfew).
Next up for Del is the Glasgow Coffee festival and hopefully Hayseed Dixie
