In bookgroup last week we discussed Out Stealing Horses by Norwegian writer Per Petterson. It got almost universal approval which is very rare for us.
Then last night as part of our Film Club with Sue and Eddy we saw Louder Than Bombs directed by Joachim Trier a Norwegian director. It gave us a lot to think and talk about, so that was good too.
Sunday I saw Eric Gales down the road at the crescent. A really good blues rock guitarist from Memphis Tennessee. Good songs, and classy guitar with a great band too. Pretty amazing that he should be playing here in an ex-working mens club, but there you go.
Then Tuesday Patrick, Adrian and I saw Jeff Beck at the Barbican in York. He was brilliant, peerless. The only downside was when he inexplicably asked Johnny Depp on stage to play some numbers. Here was a fantastic young Jazz Rock band with some old bloke murdering classic songs (What's Going On?) It was excruciating, but didn't take away from a great gig from Jeff.
