Thread Name: El Greko at the Spotlight
Subject: RE: El Greko at the Spotlight
and a fine set of songs from El Greko if I may say so
Began with a new one 'Water melon seeds' very attention grabbing
the song about his son 'The Friend I never made' is very touching
'Johnny Dont go walking with the fishes' about sponge divers opens your eyes to a way of life.
'The Mill' as recorded by Cloudstreet and 'Flowers in the guns' with reference and best wishes to Vin Garbutt was very well delivered. Others try , few succeed, with the latter last night George sang it as well as I've heard him do it for a long while.
and his closing song before the encore was another newie entitled 'Angelo' is a sound finisher with a great mass audience chorus, I can see the lighters waving now.
encore 'Underdog' well chosen
Great support from Chris Flegg, 'Zorg,' Moses, the ref, Clive from Chelmsford and Michaels poem .
Next week, well who knows what'll happen.
this Friday its Graeme Knights's CD launch please see other thread
