I love her lots, she mixes pop and politics in a Billy Bragg for the 21st century style, her recent album is excellent, and last night was a full band show which really made for a full sound, dare I say it more rock than folk. It's also hugely life affirming to be in a room full of people who share a lot of your politics and despair at the state of the country and world!

Joe1970 Dec 2024 4:43pm, 15 Dec 2024 234 posts	0 Joe1970 In among the millions of songs out there, there are a mere handful which invariably make me cry, and she wrote three of them. I'm not sure anyone else has more than two, and I mean this entirely as a compliment. Black Tie is one of them, and one of the reasons it hits hard is because it could easily have been about my son, so I get where you're coming from, @Joopsy
Triplet Dad Dec 2024 9:59am, 16 Dec 2024 2,838 posts	0 Triplet Dad Not sure it quite counts as a gig, and apologies to all Michael Buble fans on here, but I had the misfortune to be dragged along to "Buble Christmas by Candelight" on Saturday night in Edinburgh. TripletMum was taking one of her friends, a big Michael Buble fan, as a Xmas treat but her friend was ill and she didn't want to go by herself so I went along to keep her company. That's 2 hours of my life I'm not getting back.
