The GLW is unfortunately unable to accompany me to the Bridget St. John & Michael Chapman gig on Wednesday night, which has the makings of a cracker if you like their sorts of things. Hence I now have a ticket going spare.
If any local Afterworder wants to come along in her place the ticket’s yours; you’ll have to sit next to me I’m afraid, so I’ll expect you to have washed at some point during June, though I won’t expect you to share your Maltesers.
Just drop me a line and we can arrange to meet before things kick off. I’ll be getting to the venue about 8 at the latest – gig starts at 8:30 – and I may grab a pint somewhere close by beforehand.
If only, if only…
I’ve recently been rediscovering Bridget through her Pocket Full Of Starlight compilation and I guess, essentially discovering, Michael Chapman, whom apart from Peel sessions and album plays I didn’t know until I saw him last year supporting Ben Watt. He was excellent.
Ben said that when Chapman came off stage, Bernard Butler (who was there accompanying Ben) looked at him and said “Thanks very much”.
So if you live in the Bristol are TAKE UP THIS OFFER.
I hadn’t seen they were touring together. I must see if they have London dates. Knowing my luck they will have played last night.
saw them Friday night. Two artists on top form.
Agree with Carl TAKE UP THIS OFFER.
Just had a poke around YouTube, and I’m not convinced it’s my cup of tea (dude, where;s the shouting and the breaking stuff?), so I will pass on this, but if you need a Bristol gig buddy another time (or just fancy a pint) give me a shout.
