Wine women and song

Gretchen Peters, Suzy Bogguss and Matraca Berg are currently touring the UK, and we are seeing them tonight. They sound absolutely magical.

Excellent singing but they talked and messed about far too much, probably more than 50% of the 2 hours they were on stage.

Best country song title from Matraca Berg - "Your husband is cheating on us"!!

I saw them earlier in the tour (and also a couple of years ago). The banter is an integral part of the show and I really liked the informality and wit. Varied material, of high standard, well-performed; great personalities. I believe 2 of the 3 are struggling with colds at the moment so you may have got a little more chat than usual...

When they sang, they sang like angels flying too close to the ground!
NO STRAWBERRY WINE - DISAPPOINTING.

I remember wine women and song, back in the old days.
Now, it's beer TV and the old lady.

Wine women and Song sound suspiciously like The Shanty Annas

I must say that Susie Boggus looks good at 55!

First half was 54 minutes - music was just 38 minutes.

Wonder if we can start a Naval equivalent?

Saw them in Glasgow last night. The venue was very wrong for them and they were unable to create an intimate atmosphere. They talked too much, played too many new songs and spent too much time trying to sell their CDs, DVDs and their forthcoming tours.

Did they play Strawberry Wine?

Second half - 59minutes but only 44 minutes music - not good enough for £20 tickets.

They were great at their Pacific Road gig. Somehow I failed to take my stopwatch with me (!) but they more than delivered. Then, again, I was there to enjoy the patter as well as the music.
