Marc Ribot - London, May 14-15

JerkMoans

Just a heads up for anyone who fancies seeing the eclectic maestro. I’ll certainly be there on at least one of the nights.

Ack I miss London sometimes.  I flew to Lisbon a few years back and saw him play as part of a jazz series they do there, definitely worth the trip.  I mean Lisbon's not bad either!

Love him in a band context but find his solo stuff a bit too challenging tbh !

I imagine it could be very hit or miss, but I think I’d kick myself if I didn’t go see the tortured genius on my own doorstep. 

Begs this question: if I only book one night, what if the other’s better?

Did you go just for the concerts, or were Sagres, sardined and custard pies involved, too?

Fwiw have taken executive decision and booked both nights. See you there, if anyone else fancies it.

Lots of booze!  Great drinking up that hill bit on the right as you're facing the sea

I'm already booked for the 15th. 

Some good stuff happening in Dalston this month: Ben Monder is at The Vortex next Thursday with Dan Weiss' band Starebaby (which also includes Craig Taborn, Matt Mitchell and Trevor Dunn!)

Looks like we’re approaching Forum critical mass for this one

Supremely pissed off. Yesterday landed with late notice 5 am start to get to work gig in Manchester, where I now am

F**k me I need to spend more time practising and less time looking at gear. This guy just owned the stage for 2h with just an acoustic guitar, no set list & not a pedal in sight.
