ALLOY WHEELS ON A SKIP INDEED!
Car tarted up as an old guys attempt to look sporty. Unlike the real deal, Davy Graham last night @ Fraser Centre made no attempt to look sporty. I was disturbed initially by his shocking mistimings & mistakes & this was played on a guitar that was obviously out of tune. By the end of his first set however he had settled & his closing piece: an Irish double jig gave us a glimpse of his huge talent.
The second set was so much better & he began by running through some Balkan & Palestinian tunes. My only complaint was that his sets were too short. Perhaps the number of intervals should have been less; maybe John Renbourn could have been persuaded to perform as he was in the audience.
All in all I cannot complain because the chances of catching this living legend live are remote. Well done again to Jason Smith for organising this event & for the tasty concerts he has coming up before the end of the year.
