yorks5stringer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Anyone else watch her from a performance at the Dingle Festival just as Back to Black came out? Just her, guitar and Dale Davis on Bass, I thought it mesmerising and who needs drummers?! Well worth watching on the BBC i-player....

Lozz196 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes, was great. Thought with it being quieter, her voice really shone through. Great guitar & bass-playing too. Whilst I love the album Back to Black, I do think a stripped down version like that would have been great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Yes, having covered "Rehab" and " Love is a Foolish Game" with a band, it was interesting to hear it all stripped down. Also, we had subtitles on as Mrs Y5S is a bit mutton, so it gave me a chance to really listen to the lyrics, I normally "filter" them out in preference to the bassline!

wateroftyne Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I saw a bit of that, too. Lovely - it really gave the songs a chance to breathe. Canny bass player too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Superb programme, sublime performances esp from Dale Davis. A very underated player IMO. Any idea what he's doing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nah, not American - he is a Brit for sure - used to see him all the time at Goldsmiths early 90's (Maybe he was at Laurence Canty's class??) - was always carrying his bass with him. Not sure if he played Hofners then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1343133697' post='1745773'] who needs drummers?! [/quote] I sat in on a gig recently with a guy who was her drummer on many gigs he was seriously good. Great 'feel' player and a nice guy too. We even got to play Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
