on a number of occasions & he is always brilliant.
Probably my favourite songwriter of recent times.
Chatted to him after a gig once, and he is charming. And about seven feet tall.

Recent album 'All the pretty things' is a corker too.

If that was on Led Zeppelin III (and you can imagine Planty boy singing it) you'd all be wetting yer pants over it.

I should declare that I *heart* Eddi Reader.

But Eddi Reader has just the most fantastic voice. An Autotune box would get cobwebs on it in her house. I remember seeing her with Fairground Attraction years ago when they supported Deacon Blue. She is still probably the finest singer I have ever witnessed live. It was a virtuoso demonstration of what a voice can do.

The air guitar bits were a bit amusing, though..

5th August 1997 and they were fantastic.
This song is so true it's heartbreaking.

'And the loneliest sound of all, is the sound of love through a strangers wall
And when their laughter fades and there are no more words, the silence breaks me most of all'

saw them at the local record shop

eddie has rather nice legs

Seen Eddie several times and I don't think I've heard her sing one wrong note. I saw her with Boo Hewerdine and other musicians at York Opera House. She hadn't prepared a set list and basically decided on the spot what to sing. If the musicians didn't know the song they had to pick it up and join in when ready. Worked a treat.

last year, she and her band were the highlight of Cornbury 09. Perfect music for a country fair.

... when I lived in Cambridge. Nice bloke.

but Eddi seems like the Jamiroquai of the Real ale set or is she,and i believe the term da yoof use is,on one ?

May I thoroughly commend Boo's recent tour diary to the house.
