Who did you see live last?

A recital of piano music by Anthony Burgess, played on Anthony Burgess’s piano at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. A musicologist sat next to us warned us to expect ‘second-rate Walton’ and I think he was being harsh, but Burgess definitely a great writer who could also compose rather than (as he apparently wished to be) a great composer who could also write. 
 

Pleased to report I didn’t viddy any ultraviolence and also slooshied no Ludwig Van, although there was some Ravel in between the Burgess.

Vapors of Morphine in Coventry last night. I didn’t get the chance to see Morphine back in the 90s, and I’ll take this as the nearest to it I’ll get. Great intimate gig in a record shop, with someone live painting it! Excellent stuff!

Ward Thomas last night at the Del La Warr Pavilion Bexhill. Just the two of them plus a guy playing electric guitar. Great harmonies but a very boring show. Had I been on my own I would have left before the end in case I fell asleep. The support act Kezia Gill however was excellent.
