A friend’s random FB post – she’d heard a song of his on the radio, and was looking for more – reminded me how great Chris Stapleton is, and a search for suggestions led me to this, which has proved a cathartic blub-fest.

Can’t beat a good cry. What opens the flood gates for you lot?

Late to the party?

14/09/2017 by nigelthebald 14 Comments

As I shuffle towards the start of my seventh decade, it becomes ever more apparent to me that I’m often late to the party, if indeed I ever arrive. It may be that the more happening among the Massive are already familiar with Lowkey’s work, but until I heard on the radio news at lunchtime the linked interview – topical with today’s opening of the Grenfell Inquiry – I was totally unaware of his existence.

The interview included snippets from his memorial track, and intrigued I sought it out. The video will be the first comment. See whether you can listen to the list at the end without crying. I couldn’t.

What have other AWers come to discover only belatedly?

The link takes you to a Dangerous Minds page featuring monochrome 1982 concert footage of the Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.

I’m ten minutes into what lasts over an hour and I’ll be here for the long haul – the little maestro’s on fire.
