Melody Gardot at the Lowry

[yorks5stringer]

Went to see MS Gardot last night. What a great gig, nothing like her recorded output and enhanced by some excellent playing by Stefan? or Raphael Brown( memory's gone) on double bass. He was playing one of those reduced size basses like wot Mr Bassman has and it sounded immense!
Added interest was a German ( nationality!) cello player who played it everyway possible, with bow, plucking, chordally and as a guitar on its side. He also tastefully used a looper.
Can't find anything on t'net re the Touring Band, anyone got any info please?

Ms. Gardot is great, you lucky thing you. But alas, I can't help you, just thought I'd share my appreciation for you excellent taste in music

You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!

Ms Gardot was very accomplished yet focused for someone so young, and despite her accident, an extemely nice set of pins!

Yes, another thumbs up for Ms Gardot, good singer and her bass player is cool to listen to. They did a very good set on Jules Holland a while ago, been a fan since. Didn't know she was in the UK at the moment.

She's off to Sweden now after just 3 gigs in UK, the guy she had on the last series of Later played a weird bass/guitar type thing. However it was a proper Double Bass this time, albeit reduced in size!
