mjmooney Posted March 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2019 Any Ryley Walker fans on here? He just posted this on his Facebook page: Quote Hey everybody I wish to express my sincere apologies for canceling, but I gotta call April euro tour off. my mental health is at an all time low, and those closest to me have determined its best I seek help instead of going on tour. I have always prided myself on work ethic and never canceling a gig. However, my life is at risk. I desperately need to take time to seek clarity through professional help. Need to be cared for in a controlled environment. I’m gonna try to kick my substance abuse and extreme depression. Both have been a part of my life since I was very young, and it’s all coming to a head. I'm suffering. I need to protect myself and those around me from self destruction. I appreciate your understanding and I’m so sorry to the promoters who worked really hard to set the gigs up. I’ll try to make it back when I’m healthier. I love playing tunes with all my heart and the friends I’ve made over the years. I love you all. Can't say I'm surprised. Head full of Primrose Green, indeed.

Never really heard of him though Young, singer/guitarist (lots of FX and looping). Sort of folk-meets-jazz, very much in the tradition of Tim Buckley and John Martyn.

Popular Post mjmooney Posted April 5, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2019 Great show from Tom Russell last night. There was running banter throughout the show about how I was heckling him, and how he was going to come down and sort me out - hence the 'fight scene' below! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Just booked a solo september gig to see Joe Nichols in Nottingham. As is the nature of the music I like, my wife is never keen on going and none of my mates like it, so I go to a lot of gigs alone. I am comfortable with this. I had the chance to see Joe Nichols in Vegas about 6 years ago but it was the same night as Reverend Horton Heat and there was no way I would feel comfortable with my wife getting back to the hotel alone, so I ditched Joe Nichols and instead watched RHH. The great thing was Wayne The Train Hancock guested with him, so that was an excellent night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted April 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2019 Beirut last Friday. Slightly apprehensive as I only knew a handful of tracks (it's the other half's favourite band) but it turned out to be a great show and I've since picked up a lot of the back catalogue. Supremely talented musician that Beirut feller. Obligatory grainy photo of some blokes and some lights on a stage (taken from the very back row of Hammersmith Apollo): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 So last week I painted an egg and photoshopped it onto the cover of a Mogwai album (all part of the crazy, hedonistic lifestyle I lead, you see), which has left me within a gnat's taint hair of winning tickets to ArcTanGent and 2000 Trees festivals and I would be super-indebted if anyone wanted to submit a vote for the Mogwai entry in the competition's Facebook poll.
