Went to see him last night. I bought the ticket months ago when I was pleasantly surprised to see him listed at a little club over the hill from me. Hebden Bridge Trades Club. I've not been before. It's a cozy small venue.
When the first number ended and the band stopped playing we were treated to a repetetive phrase on sop for 2 or 3 minutes showcasing his circular breathing. I know he can play but a demonstration of technical ability wasn't why I was there. I was hoping for something more musical. As they continued I was coming to the conclusion that the sound man must have been deaf. The bass drowned out the whole band. Couldn't hear the drums at all. Courtney kept looking up to the gallery and looking at his sop. It should have been a great night and I waited to see if things were going to improve, but they didn't. I left after half an hour. What a disappointment.
