REVIEW - EFTERKLANG WITH THE NORTHERN SINFONIA, JOHN GRANT, BARBICAN, LONDON

Efterklang with the Northern Sinfonia, the Sage, Gateshead, 23 October 2012 (PK4 Images)

The thought occurred later: Efterklang made the Performing Parades album, so a Performing Piramida must be in the offing. The other new song John Grant performed was It Doesn't Matter To Him, also great.

REVIEW – LOST IN MUSIC 2012, TAMPERE, FINLAND

Really wish that being made to hand in your coat could be ditched. But one gripe is hardly a gripe, especially with so much astounding and outstanding stuff.

Special mention to Talbot from Estonia who were terrific. Layering contrapuntal singing onto what they do makes them unique.

REVIEW - DIONNE WARWICK: NOW

Whichever way this is looked at, it’s not very good (and that’s without taking the stuff with her son into account)

REVIEW - JOHNNY HALLYDAY, ROYAL ALBERT HALL, LONDON

Of course, there were expectations beforehand. But when confronted with the real thing, they were swept aside. Surprising to see nothing from Jamais Seul taken on.

And this too.
