17 Feb 17 - 04:40 AM (#3839470) Subject: RE: Alistair Roberts From: FreddyHeadey There are a couple of clips here. The Quay Sessions BBC Radio Scotland 16 Feb 2017 "...Acclaimed and innovative singer/songwriter Alasdair Roberts will be performing original songs from his latest album Pangs with his band. Meanwhile, Siobhan Miller, who has twice been named Singer Of The Year at The Scots Trad Music Awards, will showcase songs from her second solo album Strata. Strata features a diverse array of traditional and contemporary songs reflecting her musical upbringing." http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08ds3ln If I hear something a bit out of tune I'll try to enjoy something good about the performance or skip to something else, leaving others to their enjoyment. |

17 Feb 17 - 08:33 PM (#3839628) Subject: RE: Review: Alistair Roberts From: GUEST,Jerome Clark Alasdair Roberts is a major, major talent, sort of a young Robin Williamson but yet his own man. His talents as traditional interpreter and poetic songwriter are really staggering. Yes, he can be demanding, but he is also more than worth the effort. |

18 Feb 17 - 11:43 AM (#3839758) Subject: RE: Review: Alistair Roberts From: leeneia I just went to YouTube and listened to three of Alasdair's tracks, and they were all nicely in tune. Keep in mind that "in tune" is not as easy to define as most people think. |

18 Feb 17 - 06:15 PM (#3839822) Subject: RE: Review: Alistair Roberts From: GUEST,matt milton I've never heard him sing out of tune at innumerable gigs of his I've been too. And not noticed him sing out of tune on any of his 9 (or so) albums. Not heard the session you're talking about. Suspect he's probably not singing out of tune. But I'll have a listen now just to be sure. |

19 Feb 17 - 05:24 AM (#3839896) Subject: RE: Review: Alasdair Roberts From: Bonzo3legs I suggest that you listen from 1hr 23 mins - the fiddle is not in tune with the guitar, and Alisdair is singing slightly sharp of both of them. In short, it's awful. Siobhan Miller, however, who performed first was excellent. |
