Richard Thompson Tour 2006

[xjrcrunch]

We shall be at the Anvil. That's Sandy, Fi and Me at least.

Sandy and I saw him there solo at the Anvil last year and Straw and I were there the year before for the 'Ducknapped' tour. Both gigs were good and both had Christine Collister as a surprise guest.

(The only other time we've been to the Anvil was for the Oysterband Big Session when Christine Collister appeared as a guest... oh. I'm beginning to detect a pattern here.  )

I was at  the same two gigs - both "bank vault in heaven" and "can't win"  on the Ducknapped! album were recorded at the Anvil.

I'm pretty sure Christine Collister lives near Basingstoke, in fact she was doing her own show locally the night after the Ducknapped! tour gig.

My only complaint about her guest appearance on the solo tour (and at Cropredy) is that she only appears for the encores.  Does he pay her by the song?

Warwick Arts Centre is a good venue.

We went to see John Mayall last year, misjudged the journey by 10 mins and arrived late to a foyer totally empty except for John Mayall wanderenig around looking lost, after a brief conversation and ticket signing (Would never have believed that to be possible 30yrs ago!) we tried to creep into the auditorium.   

It was a great shock to find that the front door seems to admit you direct to the stage, where Stan Webb was in full swing. We added to our embarassement by dithering back and forth before working out the seating arrangement.

It's a nice combination of size and intimacy!  I think we'll try again!
