it’s great to see there’s still the odd torch song out there waiting to be reprised.  this show is a great concept, and paloma faith’s voice is so well suited to it.  i feel as if i recognize all the songs, but no, i’m also quite certain that i’ve not heard the ones by paloma faith herself.

and guy barker is quite the thing.  i saw his kind of blue – orchestrated with the rté concert orchestra, almost two years ago now.  it was super, i’d go see anything he was involved in.

unrelated to the above, dublin’s musictown 2021 kicks off today, running through the 25th with free online events everyday.  check it out.
