TrevorR Posted February 7 Posted February 7 At the other end of the venue scale, just back from seeing Carrie Martin and Tomorrow Bird at Runnymede Folk Club. Fabulous evening of music! 1 Quote
howdenspur Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Still recovering from a "double header"...well almost. Saw John Shuttleworth at The Ropery Hall on Sunday - well observed humour, very funny and then, by way of contrast, Transatlantic Sessions at York Barbican last night. Fantastic evening, quite mesmerising. Featured, among others, London Wainwright III and Julie Fowlis. 3 Quote

Wainwright and Fowlis is quite the guest vocalist pairing. Quote
cybertect Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Friday evening, after a few months' absence, Robbie McIntosh returned to my favourite local venue, The Sound Lounge, in Sutton, south London. Superb as always \ Quote
TrevorR Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Transatlantic Sessions at the Royal Festival Hall last night. Great evening of Celtic and Americana music. It featured the absolute cream of Celtic and Americana musicians sharing one stage - including guest vocalists Julie Fowlis and Loudon Wainwright III... just stunning!!! 4 Quote

Superb as always \ Those are great photos! I am tempted to go along to Sutton, just to see if the musicians are as good-looking in real life... 1 Quote
Sean Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I went to see Marisa and the Moths at their first headline show at The Frog & Fiddle in Cheltenham. Never seen 'em before, I was taken along with some friends. What a show! I had seen Marisa singing a coupe of songs with Sophie Lloyd in Cardiff before Xmas. The bass player in M&tM is fab, does a solo acoustic guitar song as has such a strong gravelly country voice. https://www.marisaandthemoths.com/ Quote

He was master of ceremonies for the evening along with Aly Bain. Fabulous players both. They’ve been the heart of TS for 30 odd years now. Edited February 11 by TrevorR 1 Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Just got in from seeing Tremonti at The Forum in Kentish Town. Went along with my mates for an evening out but although the band are obviously super talented and incredibly tight it’s not really my thing. I don’t regret going along but I don’t think I’d go to see them again. Big shout out to the support band Florence Black though, enjoyed their set and imo they had a better mix than the headliner. Wonder if the bassist is on here? Quote
AlexDelores Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Have been to 2 gigs in 2 weeks, can you tell I’m not gigging at the moment? 😂 Last week was Corey Kent @ Birmingham Academy 2 with the fantastic Jordan Ray Landers on bass! Cracking show! Last night I re-lived my youth and watched Madina Lake @ The Asylum in Birmingham! Thoroughly enjoyed it and nice to see them back at it… Ruined a bit by a parking ticket on the van as I’d completely missed that the car park requires you to pay a full day fee for parking a van and I’d only paid 4 hours. Bit confusing as everything was out of order and the app has no van option. But, never mind… £60 into the idiot tax box. Quote
mowf Posted Sunday at 00:54 Posted Sunday at 00:54 Just got home from seeing Cory Wong in Manchester. Absolutely floored by the support band Couch; not only the quality of the music, but the mix was flawless from the first note. Super tight and funky, awesome singer. Cory’s set was amazing too, but the mix wasn’t as good. At times I couldn’t hear his guitar, and the bass was pretty much inaudible all the time. Didn’t spoil the night though. Musicianship was off the scale. My son’s verdict at the end of Cory’s set: “That was insane!” Quote
