House Concert

Posted by on in EventsLeave a comment

I went to a house concert for the first time on saturday night. I wasn’t entirely sure of what to expect, but actually I was pleasantly surprised by the event. From what I hear these kind of events are more popular in the US but haven’t really taken off here so far.

Even so, it was a good evening. Nice people, some interesting music that I probably wouldn’t have listened to otherwise, and, not a huge cost to it either.

I’d probably go again if I get the chance, irrespective of what the music is.

Remembering Mick

Posted by on in Events, ListeningLeave a comment

Today there was a meet up in London to celebrate the life of the bassist Mick Karn who sadly died last month.

I would have really liked to have gone along, but it was sadly impossible. I’ve been thinking about him and his music for days, but I can’t seem to listen to anything by him. I don’t know why, but every time I see one of his tracks come up I skip it.

I’m considering having a serious Mick Karn listening session soon. I think it might be something I really need to do.
