Steeleye Span last night in Dorchester. Current line up only has Maddie from the original band but the newer members are excellent especially the fiddle player. Roger Carey is on bass.

Wow - they still going? Haven't seen them since the mid 90s!

Yazz Ahmed in Manchester Jazz Festival, which I can’t describe better than Jazz Times’s reviewer - except to add that Ralph Wyld on vibes and marimba was just extraordinary - almost show-stealing, had all the others not also been so good. 
 

Also so far seen Phil Meadows’ Beware of the Bear with Joe Downard excellent on bass guitar and unexpected bonus of Rosie Frater Taylor on guitar; John Ellis with the awesome Grant Russell on DB; and Ladies of Midnight Blue which sounds like it should be a sort of smoky female-vocal led account of the standards songbook but was actually two women (very adeptly) whacking the bejeezus out of various drums whilst spreading Black consciousness. And blowing bubbles. I liked it.

Bruce Springsteen and the mighty E Street Band last night at Co-Op Live in Manchester.

Seen Bruce many times but not for a while so hoped he’d still be up for it, and he absolutely was!

They played for over two and a half hours straight through, with no signs of tiredness or slowing 

down. As well as Bruce, incredible performances from all of the 17 piece band, especially Max Weinberg

on drums and the very cool Gary W. Tallent on bass. Gary mainly used a short scale Spector, but

also a Guild Starfire semi in natural which sounded immense. Nils Lofgen was also on fire, being given

quite a few extended guitar solos. 

A great sound for such a large venue, and well organised inside too. Shame the parking was so hit and miss

though - okay getting in but dreadful queues on the way out mainly caused by conflicting crowds from the

Etihad stadium next door. The football crowd should have been gone before we left ( kickoff at 8pm) but in

a brilliant lack of consideration there was an extra 30 mins or so added to the game (  a special leaving 

feature or something) which meant both arenas emptied at exactly the same time. 70,000+ people trying

to get away simultaneously meant a lot of frustration for all. Then our journey home involved two lengthy 

diversions off the M62 so I got in around 2am. Still, an amazing evening with an amazing band, wonderful.
