As mentioned by lotty.
We saw Robert Cray in March this year at Nottingham, a superb blues technician who was excellent. Previously we saw Jools Holland and his orchestra at the same venue, he struck me as a really nice guy, bigging up all those around him.
However I must admit it is all a bit clinical these days, you know the score when the show starts at 7.30, you get a honest trier on first for half an hour then a break for drinks, the main act does an hour and a quarter then exits the stage 15 minutes before the end then an encore and we all stream out to the car park. In days of old I remember drinking at the bar with some of the acts after they finished.
Ho hum, must be getting old.
