Entertainment For Lively Minds
Dave Stewart
On Sky Anytime at the moment is an episode of "Songwriters" with Eurythmics beard botherer Dave Stewart.
For the unaware, the format is akin to MTV Unplugged/Storytellers but with a slightly over-earnest music journo prompting the musician to free-anecdote about the song about to be played.
I'd forgotten how talented Stewart was. He's managed to look like a twat often enough for his songwriting chops to be somewhat overlooked. The show's worth catching: he's accompanied by piano and violin only throughout. Some stunning vocals from Judith Hall, who I wasn't previously familiar with, and excellent violin from the not unattractive Ann Marie Calhoun.
Can't find anything on YouTube unfortunately; well worth looking out for on the Murdochbox though.

The first Eurythmics album was great, the second OK and after that they lost me completely. I'm not convinced he's a great talent.
