Bluegrass concertina

I seem to have been too bogged down in a convoluted book post to say anything about last week's Live To Your Living Room concert with Alistair Anderson and Dan Walsh. For the record, then: it was a hybrid gig, and I think LTYLR had booked the Zoomed concert first and then suggested a live audience, which had been arranged at the (stately) home of one of Dan Walsh's banjo students. This, despite the noise of the heater, worked well, and what really came across was how much fun they the musicians were having. This sort of thing:

I'm pretty sure we've seen them before, in Whitby - but I don't seem to have posted about that, either. Alistair Anderson I have seen many times, and in various collaborations - but this one came as a complete surprise:

Fabulous!

Indeed.

The LTYLR gig came from very much your neck of the woods, apparently - Berwick House, if that means anything?

It's in Shrewsbury by the river.

It's going to take a lot to make me forget the image of Kate Bush wriggling while playing a ukulele.

You say that as if it's a bad thing?

Let me get back to you on that.
