No reports from the Netherlands gigs yet, I hope the snow has cleared enough for driving to East Croydon station on 6 December for the Cadogan Hall gig  |

Did I miss a prior thread? Must be tired eyes/limbs from clearing snow! Many thanks for linking that video which is excellent, so the chances are that all is not lost if we can't get there.

Having seen the video am now even more looking forward to this - here's hoping the weather (and transport issues) don't cause any problems getting to Chelsea (I can cope with not getting back!).

That is terrific stuff and for some reason the instrumentation and overall sound seems to fit very well with the current cold spell.
Given that there are cameras at the venues is it possible that a tour DVD is in the works?
Nutmeg & Ginger...is it too early for the first hot port of the day? Purely for medicinal reasons!

Man....nice. And I ain't just talkin about the music, though the breath of RT's musical vision is a constant wonder to me, and one I am very grateful for. But nevertheless my compliments to the individual behind the video camera. Btw I should hope RT would be nominated, the man is nothing short of mighty, and one funny mf. |

My intention was to connect to this video for reasons obvious to me, not sure about the class, lemme just say I'm glad the camera man changed his angle from the prior video, much as I like seeing RT's mug. |

Steve-n & Dr Clive, my intention is to arrive at Cadogan Hall around 6.30pm. I look forward to seeing you there, it will be a pleasure to share a festive drink with fellow Old Burians. |

Not sure quite what time we'll be there, as we're taking advantage of the pre-show early dinner in the Botanist in Sloane Square, booked for 5.30, so I guess we should be at the venue by about 7.00.

What can I say other than excellent. My only complaint is that the music could have been louder - a lot louder!!!

Richard Thompson and chums at Cadogan Hall last night, performing "Ginger and Nutmeg" aka "spicy ballads from the Elizabethan era".
Spicy ballads? "Cumin Feel The Noize"? "Hey Mister Tamarind Man"?
No, it was exactly what it laid claim to be, with instruments including Renaissance guitar, bandora, lute etc. A mix of instrumentals and old songs - unfortunately, I didn't think the sound on the vocals was great as it left the lyrics rather indistinct at times, though they suddenly became clear on the song about Faust. When it started, I was thinking "What have I done? Why am I here?", but, by the end, I was thinking "This is great, play some more". Shame it wasn't sold out then.
