For my 30th in May I was meant to see him in Dublin. Obviously became cancelled due to covid... my mate contacted him and he drew this as a surprise for me

It's probably a subconscious biological thing. He also helped raise you and to be fair, it would be weird if you didn't feel that way. How do you feel about the rest of your family?

saw his 2013 glasto set (no i wasnt waiting for mumford) & wasnt really impressed. this thread made me try a few songs on youtube since & still dont get it. pretty boring IMO

that said there seems to be loads of closet take that fans these days, what do i know

damn that 2013 was one of my all time best glastonbury gigs. funny how people can have such different views.

I know a few people that dont like him at all though, his voice isnt for everyone. I'm guessing you youtubed more of his ballad-y songs rather than his livelier stuff if you found him boring. I can see how the latest album can be called boring too in fairness.

So would I OJL, as Russy had pointed out the link has changed. I posted it without checking! I have checked it now and it looks more correct. Still a great set though. :)

If you think that Wednesday was an average one, I'd best not tell you about my Friday... I certainly better not tell Zoo Music Girl ;)

It sort of alternated between Nick on the piano solo, though him on the piano with varying degrees of band intervention. From Her To Eternity was fairly meaty, Red Right Hand, Jack the Ripper, Lyre of Orpheus, Up Jumped the Devil and Jubilee Street slightly stripped back (apart from the very end of JS), but the rest were either rightfully low key or pretty novel solo versions. Mercy Seat was one of those wonderful ones. Best version I've heard.
