Something new

Last night's Live To Your Living Room gig with Scalene was fun. Well, of course it was: the very irregular triangle that is Nancy Kerr, James Fagan and Sandra Kerr is never going to be less than fun, even if the hybrid gig struggles to deliver - which on this case it didn't. Plenty of songs and tunes and family chat, and a bonus helping of Bagpuss, all adds up to a good night out.

There was also a mini support set, three songs from Janice Burns & Jon Doran. Since I lnew nothing about this duo, they came as a very pleasant surprise. Ewan MacColl's Song of the Fishgutters got the show off to a great start:



It's not the same as being at a live gig. But it's a way to catch gigs that you couldn't see live, and it's more immediate than watching a concert on television. Look at it as subscription tv - only it's more immediate than that.
