I saw this for the first time this evening. I was keen to share it, it’s a fine thing, indeed. Apologies if it’s old news to anyone – sometimes a song just catches you…well, you all know…
“The impact on my extended community is already profound”
I am fortunate. I am a paid employee, with good employment protection, and the travelling public are still needing my services even now, and will certainly need them when things eventually get back to normal. In the mean time, I will not have run up impossible debts that collapse my ability to offer my services.
In the industries that provide the good stuff about which we love to chat here, so many are self-employed, so many are just getting by. Venues, artists, festivals, support staff – they won’t all survive this, and we will all be the poorer. Hell, just read Karine’s words; she says it so much better.
Quay Sessions – Karine Polwart, Pearlfishers
Series 5 features an AW-friendly lineup.
Karine Polwart (inc. Inge, naturally), The Pearlfishers, Arcade (Heidi Talbot & Adam Holmes), Idlewild. Tom Walker coming up next weekend (my Edinburgh friends were at the recording and loved it).
ATM: Karine Polwart
I just heard her cover of Chance, the Big Country song. She’s doing an album of the Scottish Songbook, with all the usual suspects.
If one were interested in her own music, including the early Malinkie stuff, where would one begin?
KARINE POLWART @ THE STABLES, MILTON KEYNES, SAT JULY 28 – ANYBODY WANT 2 TICKETS?
So I bought tickets ages ago for what promises to be a splendid theatrical show featuring the wonderful Karine Polwart and her beautiful songs.
Inevitably we are now not double- but treble-booked on that night…Stables aren’t interested in swapping the tickets for another night, so I’ve bought 2 more for the Friday night. Have a look at the links and PM me if you’re interested in going on the Saturday. With add-ons tickets are about £30 each. Not looking for face value, but a contribution to the destitute publishers’ whisky fund is always welcome.
