Pic (vid!) of the week 29/4/19
By chance, on Friday, I picked up a copy of the local paper.
By chance I happened on a small ad detailing upcoming events at Strode Theatre.
Sunday night – James Taylor Quartet.
I couldn’t really believe it. A quick check showed tickets still available (plenty of them!)
Its rare that I disagree with Becky, but she describes JTQ as “elevator” music. She is wrong, so wrong. But it meant I was going alone.
One ticket for twenty quid – a bargain!
Parking up and walking to the venue, I did wonder if there was another event happening at the same time – a cinema screening, perhaps – because those walking towards the entrance did not strike me as the demographic of a typical JTQ fan.
They were a bit niche back in the day (only the coolest of us cool cats were into them) so I was surprised to find them in a sleepy Somerset town on a Sunday night.
Half an hour, the couple behind me left.
The lady in front of me sat with her hands over her ears for the whole two hour set.
But they were brilliant. Foot stompingly brilliant.
