Went to see and hear the
brilliant Gavin Osborn play a free concert in the Colston Hall foyer last
night. It’s ridiculous that he’s not playing to much larger audiences as he’s SO
talented. Daughter Hannah gave me his CD, “Come On
Folks, Settle Down”, about a year ago (she designed the CD cover!) and I
absolutely love it… and play it constantly. His music is both poignant and
amusing and deals with some of the little (and important) things in
life.
Among my favourite
songs are: “Finding Time”, “An Orchestrated Break Up” or “The World Is At Your
Feet, Little Man”… but, as an aging hippie myself(?), I particularly like
“Albert Went Out To See Rock Bands” (Albert is the 77 year-old hero of the song!). It
always makes me smile… His CD would make a wonderful Christmas present!
