Boo Hewerdine 'House Concert'

FantomG · March 10, 2009, 08:05:34 AM

Long shot....and more of an 'ad'

I'm hosting a 'house concert' by Boo Hewerdine...which is where he will play and sing his songs in a house...near Norwich....on Saturday 18th April and we have room for about 10 more people...

Boo is not prog and more acoustic folk/poetry ....so a completely different style to most things in this area...but this is fine music and an opportunity to see him perform in a really friendly, intimate setting.

For anyone unfamiliar, he has written and played with Eddi Reader ('Patience of Angels' is one of his best tunes), Suggs, KD Lang, Natalie Imbruglia, Paul Young...etc...
Was in 80s band 'The Bible', which was signed to independent Norwich label Backs Records...now tours the world (week before us he's in Australia, week after starts tour of Scotland).

I'm sure this will be great. I have an old CD single of "Graceland" by the Bible and love it. Also have the "Baptist Hospital" album. I saw him playing as a support act before Del Amitri many years ago at Edinburgh Castle. Always surprised how often his name seems to pop up on records I like! I'm too far from Norwich though

I'm a massive Boo Fan - I've always wanted to organise a Boo house concert myself! Hope it goes well - Norwich is a little distant for me, though...

Thanks Lambsie,

Sorry we're too far away from you....Only a couple tickets left...

It should be a great evening ...he's playing about an hour...followed by a hot meal together, then playing another hour afterwards....and staying for a chat with everyone.

We managed to secure him just after he comes back from his dates in Australia and just before a tour of Scotland...

Cheers

Well, what an amazing gig!!!

Boo was fantastic.....brilliant voice and playing, nice and chatty with our small crowd of just over 20, sound was excellent, food yummy.....a great evening had by all

If anyone gets the opportunity to host a gig in there house...then Boo is highly recommended.
