Yesterday's Kate McGarrigle tribute at Royal Festival Hall.
Not just the Wainwright/McGarrigle bits but the entire Thompson family on stage together. Not just usual suspects Teddy and Kami but other son and daughter and grandson.
And whose eyes could not have moistened when Linda sang "Go Leave" accompanied by Richard. Just the two of them, alone on stage...

Sounds absolutely wonderful ! RT & LT together alone...something that will probably never happen again...but you never know, stranger things have occurred ! |

Oh, I think it may well happen again....they were both quite comfortable.
What is more unlikely is the Thompson family all on stage - but was that Jack or Zak on the far left? They were both listed in the programme, but only one showed up....
Agreed abour the concert being the most moving - I certainly haven't witnessed anything like that before - it was almost a wake, rather than a gig...

It was I believe Zak singing with Kami and Teddy. Jack I think played some bass on one number sitting down at the back.

Many thanks Simon. Were you there (or are you getting to any of the other shows)? |

There was a guy sat in front of me recording it - for personal reasons, I'm afraid I wreckerd his recording. I don't normally, but he was definitely giving the impression he was intending to boot it (i.e. sell copies).....I suggest you listen all the way through to ensure that it isn't this copy (incomplete or quite noisy at times)

This one doesn't read like that...says all the right things in his listing...'Support the artists - buy the records - go to the shows ', lists all their websites etc etc and is obviously a fan not a commercialist. He does say there is phone noise (his!) in the second half....still... |

The RFH traditionally has hideous accoustics Nothing traditional about it!! The accoustics are just hideous - like the Fairfield Hall in Croydon, where I warn that it will cost you £8 to park for 3-4 hours and £10 for 4-5 hours. best to use your Freedom Passes  |
