Liverpool Gig - 18th April 2012

Mine landed Friday
Must remember to print out the Manchester ones too!

Well worth the wait. Some rather haunting/brooding reworkings of familiar favourites too. Top night, cheers!

Stone The Crows!

I think that this venue really suits Jim's style of singing. He was on top form last night, in fact, I'd say this was the best performance of his that I've seen.

Several highpoints for me, not least being able to sit at the front (thanks Jen for letting us share your table, it was very much appreciated) - Poverty Knock (always a winner for me), hearing Lord Bateman live for the first time, If It's True, I could go on.

I love the banter between songs and I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I never knew that a Child Ballad was actually something collected by a Professor Child, I'd always assumed they were something from the mists of folkdom and were actualy ballads involving children - you learn something new every day.

As Anthony says, top night, thanks Jim.

If yours was the table nearest the guitars, then we were behind you, towards the centre.

Agree with you on the point about the suitability of the venue, was very impressed with the sound this time and last.

Stone The Crows!

Yup, that was us

Fantastic night, we really enjoyed it too, as well as Manchester the night before, both wonderful performances.
Loved the set list, great mix of old and new material and some I've not heard live before too. Plenty of my favourite songs in there actually, and as an added bonus I have now had 'Peg and Awl' going round my head for the past 48hrs! (Not a bad thing by the way, rather liked the version.)

Anthony, yep, that was us lot. If you spot us next time you will have to give us a shout and say hi! I just looked up your 'Skulk' photo with the cat, I think I do remember seeing you at the gig actually, even without the black-face!

Martin, you're all very welcome, was lovely to see you all again. Until next time!

Thanks again, Jim, for a fab couple of nights, you have made my week!

Jen
