It's Oh So Quiet...

I don't get to see much live music of note, but did manage to catch Sufjan Stevens in Sage Gateshead.

Did you travel down just for the show? You should try to get down in July for the Americana Festival at the Sage. Free outdoor daytime shows Fri-Sun with an interesting mix of acts and then the likes of John Grant and Lyle Lovett indoors at night. EOTR favourites are doing an acoustic set on the Saturday afternoon and the excellent Justin Townes Earle is playing Sunday.

I was across the river yesterday for part of the Evolution Festival but well away from the mayhem on the quayside. Well entertained by Billy Bragg and a couple of EOTR favourites from alst year - Smoke Fairies and C W Stoneking who was fabulous. My youngest lad (14) ended up on stage with Iggy Pop which he seemed very pleased about though he was less thrilled after he hugged him. "His skin is like old leather!"

Summertyne Festival 2011

I really want to see Chuck Prophet performing the entire 'London Calling' album but it clashes with Lyle!
