If the performance I saw is anything to go by

Expect

on average

One song every 10 minutes, 5-6 minutes tuning up between songs, but laid back patter from Tams

12 -14 songs in total 16 at most

a cool delivery

let me know if its much different

Are you going?

I am not.

So Mr Breezy.

You seem to judge music in terms of "Songs per Minute" Eh?
Quite how you cope with symphonies, (or worse) I can't imagine.
"Ooooh...don't know how that Wagner gets any gigs...that ring cycle of his went on for hours, and not one chorus."

As for that Stockhausen bloke.......

Hmm.... I wonder if that's the first time that Mr Tams has been linked with Wagner or Stockhausen. Re Breezy's comments, yes I believe that on the last occasion that the pair appeared in Guildford there was chat with the songs, but then some people (including me) actually like that sort of thing. Each to his own. Those friends of mine that went last time thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and will be going again!

It is just John Tams style to chat in between songs, and he can be a bit long winded and political at times *BG*    He is still a great musician and really sings his heart out, Great guy.

Guess Breezy wont give that guy Wagner a gig at his club.

If you like chat between songs then go listen to Breezy!!

He's got Jed Grimes at his club tomorrow in St Albans.
