Lovely show, this - my favourite recording.

I recorded a Gemma Hayes show a few years previously at the Union Chapel - a recording that would have been great but for my cold (in the quiet bits the sound of my laboured breathing totally ruined it).

Anyhoo, I got a ticket for this show in the lovely St GIles-In-The-Fields near Tottenham Court Road, pinged over a speculative email via Ms Hayes' website and bob's-yer-uncle, a rare opportunity to tape open and above board and all that. Off I trooped to the west end lugging my enormous gear bag and a stand and here's the results.

I got lucky on this one, it sounds very clean. It was a quiet show so you might have to turn it up a bit, and I'd suggest listening with lights dimmed and possibly whilst drinking a nice wine. Or on an ipod on the bus, or whatever really. I just hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

1] Keep Running

14 Out Of Our Hands

Lineage: CA11 > FEL BMA1 > Edirol R09 (24/44.1 WAV) > USB > Audacity (normalise, track) > 16/44.1 WAV > xAct (flac, fix sbe, shntool, verify) > you

Notes: Gorgeous little show, all very last minute, in the basement of a tiny pub in Kentish Town, no more than 45 people in there. Really lovely atmosphere, Peter on fine form. Lucky enough to get a nice position about 4 yards from the tiny little PA and about 6 yards from young Mr Doherty.

The show was a fundraiser for the Torriano Pub - really pleasant little local pub threatened by developers. Nice place. Go drink there if you get the chance!

:D

Thanks, as ever, to Peter and all involved in putting the show on, and to all my lovely friends who I got to hang out with this particular evening. xx

I can’t explain what this band means to me, I’m heartbroken that I’ll not see them again. There are still dates left so get on it, make it happen, GO SING. To coin a phrase “THIS IS YOUR LIFE” so go see the magic happening while you can.

Always support the artists you love. Buy the tickets, buy the records, buy the merch. The industry has done for a very fine band here and it sucks.

Still. Enjoy x

08 Waiting On The Stairs

Words fail me with this show. I've seen Foy a number of times, generally in small venues, generally with a guitar and little else. This show, though. This show.

I've tried to put together a review, in the traditional sense. Can't do it. I've got a connection to Foy Vance's music that's so personal that I don't know if I even want to write about it. But I'll have a go.

The day my little girl was born, I walked (stumbled) towards home from Queen Charlotte's hospital in a fog. On my ipod I was playing Foy's first album Hope, and after seconds I was a sobbing mess. Since then, listening to any of Foy's songs is likely to send me back to that place. Above any of the singers and the songwriters that I love, there is a special place in my heart for this guy.

Friday's show was so special, and I hope the recording goes somewhere towards doing it justice (as if it ever could! As if it ever could!). I honestly feel it might have been my favourite live show yet.

I urge you, I BEG you to check out Foy's albums, and the various EPs. Go and see him live. Please. PLEASE.

20 Upbeat Feelgood
21 Fire It Up
22 The Wild Swans On The Lake

Foy's recent album The Wild Swan is a thing of great beauty and joy. Buy it or I'll buy it for you.

Recorded as ever by me, with a teeny pair of Church Audio CA11s into an FEL preamp and a Sony PCM-M10. Faffed about with in audacity and then uploaded here.

Please support Foy Vance, please support all your favourite artists. Buy the CD, the record, the download, the t-shirt, the Foy Vance branded moustache wax, all of it.

Peace x
