I have been to something a bit different tonight, a candlelight concert with a string quartet playing the music of Leonard Cohen. I was a bit unsure what to expect because LC's songs are more about the lyrics than the music, but it was in fact very good

Paul Draper (ex Mansun).
Love smaller gigs. Where I’m standing I could just about “help” the keyboard player.

Minor claim to fame alert.
I was in a band in the late 90s who were lucky enough to get a support slot for Mansun at the University of East Anglia.
The other support band were Gay Dad who had a minor chart hit later in the year, we split up about a month after the gig

Tomorrow evening we’re off to the London O2 Arena for Josh Groben - not a singer I’d heard of but massive in the US. Cross between Andrea Bocelli and Michael Buble. Lad has got us artist/promotor guest tickets so we’ll be sitting just about as good as it can get…nice one son
He also got us tickets for Maximo Park in June…but we’re going to the theatre that night…pity.

Josh Groban last night in the O2...so very good.
With a 22 piece orchestra and 4 piece band the music was absolutely fabulous. Not a massive fan of the style where others such as Alfi Boe, Michael Buble and Russell Watson live - but boy he can deliver a tune quite fantastically. Plus his chat was very personal - made it quite intimate in the huge space of the O2 So though not a total convert to his music I can most certainly say I'd not switch him off.

Was working in Skye in 1983 when they did a Highlands tour. I think I saw them in Portree village hall (not sure as a few bands toured the highlands these days and I saw some not others). But they def popped into the Broadford Hotel (where I was working) for a pint on the way to Portree - kinda surreal it was.
