Does this mean that those of us going to the Brighton gigs are really only getting two halves of one gig but for twice the price? :tongue_smilie:
Sounds like an awesome night (he says with green eyes and heavy hint of jealousy as he thinks back to babysitting 4 kids last night!). Re your Rufus quote, that's exactly what my mate, who reviews for The Herald said and i think he's included it in his review to be published on Monday.
Yeah great policy that ... but I know I have no right in complaining ( cos I was on the guest list to see Gavin ) ... but as far as I could tell everyone was abiding by thr rule ... except a couple that were your mates (Ian) ... in that you bought them a drink half way through gavs set ( bloke wearing a brown t-shirt ) but he and his lass were talking all the way through gavs set !!
Bugger! His name is Mike. I honestly didn't hear them talking and he should know better as he is part of our committee. He is also a massive Nick fan. Being at the mixing desk I don't hear much as I'm concentrating on the sound, but I didn't hear anyone talking. I will deal with him in a swift and effective manner.
Say cheese... Some photos up on flickr of Nick at Celtic Connections. http://flickr.com/photos/bigdavetaylor/sets/72157612900399415/
Iain, who is Carluke Dave, someone you know? I like one of them. Would he let me snaffle for pub purposes? I see they are (c)'d. Did your piece appear in the C&AA?
Here you go... Hi Linn. He is employed by the festival, but he has a website that you can contact him through. http://www.davetaylorphotography.com He also has a myspace. http://www.myspace.com/davetaylorphotography Only a small piece went into the ACC due to a local act (Martin & James) signing a major deal and another local act (Hip Parade) making it to the final of the Orange Unsigned, so Nick got pushed out I'm afraid.
Just got a Google alert that the Herald review is in, and shock horror it's not by Rob Adams! It's maybe not the best review in the world - kinda makes Nick sound like a covers artist - but not bad really... http://www.theherald.co.uk/features...84443.0.Nick_Harper_Classic_Grand_Glasgow.php
Hi, I must confess to knowing the reviewer. I think it's not bad all things considered and to be fair Nicks set did include elements of at least 5 other well known songs. I only wish he had reviewed the Coatbridge gig it sounds awesome. If it's any consolation my Nick collection has been requested by the aforementioned reviewer as he liked what he heard.
YAY :biggrin: Yeah, like I said I still thought the review was good, and yeah there were a lot of covers proportionally so fair do's. :wink:
