Hi all, 

I'm a lurker on this group and hope it's okay to post about this - 
I'm not making any money off the following, am just doing it cos 
a) I love the musicians involved and b) I love the music. :)  My
friend Jan is promoting these gigs and I will be helping her out 
on the night - that's the only semi-overt connection I have.

In particular, I've mentioned Nick Harper (singer, guitar virtuoso,
mad genius, all that - and oh yeah he's Roy Harper's son if that
interests you) once or twice before in this group ages ago.  If you
want to know more, you can check out his official site (not much 
there yet but links to record company site)
 http://www.harperspace.com
or my site for its screaming frivolity and interesting details :)

Of course, if you're not in Edinburgh, getting to this gig might 
be a bit difficult.  But Nick's playing a huge tour of the UK (my 
site has details of that) so I'd highly recommend that you check 
him out.  And feel free to pass this along to anyone else you 
think may be interested.

Honestly, I don't think you'll regret it.  My plug over!

Cheers,
another Paula

Friday 12 April, Venue:
Nick Harper makes another welcome return to Edinburgh, after 
his sell out shows at the Festival Fringe.  The Evening News 
reviewer said of these Fringe concerts: "Firstly, there is his rich,
velverty and amazingly powerful voice.  Then there is his 
breathtaking acoustic guitar work that utilises every technique 
known, and some that aren't...  Blistering chord runs and a rapid
succession of licks demonstrate that he can heckle and harass 
the very best from his guitar.  Yet this is offset with constant 
banter and an infectious exuberance...  It all adds up to a full 
package of dazzling entertainment.  It's a show that crackles 
with merrymaking, grounded in musical excellence."

Friday 24 May, Cafe Royal Bistro Bar:
Colin Vearncombe, the artist sometimes known as Black, is 
probably best known for the song "Wonderful Life", but has a 
string of other fine songs including "Sweetest Smile".  We were 
treated to a splendid concert last year, and it's great to see Colin 
back again.  The Evening News reviewer said of this concert
"Wonderful Life...  a shimmering example of pop perfection... 
With his rich voice and direct style even his most downbeat 
songs are still uplifting...  A fine performance."
