Third gig in the space of about a week, this time an afternoon session at café boheme in London's soho. Great bar which has live music every afternoon. also just a great place to hang out with it's great location on old Compton street and eclectic clientele.
Yesterdays gig was the great Errol Linton playing as part of a trio.
If you are unfamiliar with Errol's music, blues harmonica (probably the best harmonica player on the UK) with a tinge of reggae thrown in although yesterday it was all blues. Only managed to catch the 1st of his two sets but an hour well worth spent listening to great musicians in a convivial atmosphere. Could think of worse ways to spend an afternoon
My late father and i never really agreed on music. Whilst I was discovering Bowie, T-Rex. Roxy Music we never really discussed music at all as he never got what i was into and being a teenager, I dismissed his musical tastes out of hand.
he died more than 40 years ago but some of his albums have resurfaced as we are helping my mother clear decades of "stuff" from her house. Whilst going through some boxes i found a large number of albums some of which are listed below.
it's a pity he died so young as I'm sure that we would have had loads to talk about based on the albums below. Good to know that he had good taste in music, sad that we never got to share with each other.
Another great gig last night, this time at one of my favourite venues, the roundhouse in Camden, London.
After nearly 50 years of gig going, there are still “older” bands on my bucket list and one of these way ticked off last night when I saw the gaslight anthem.
Great set from these springsteenesque rockers. If anyone is thinking of checking them out
