Richard Thompson - The Music Hall on Danforth tomorrow night ( Sunday 6th July)

I saw his solo gig last week at the Montreal Jazz fest - probably one of the best acoustic guitarists I have ever seen and a genuinely entertaining show.

Well worth the price of admission , I will definitely be going again!

Caught him last night at Bluesfest, and the poor bugger was labouring under the constant shriek of overamplified Dweezil Zappa at the neighbouring stage. I caught a couple of numbers, including "Walking on the Wire" from way back in the Richard and Linda days. He was magnificent, and doing more with one acoustic guitar than many do with several electrics, but ultimately, it was just too hard to watch. I expect the Danforth concert will be MUCH better, in the absence of competition.

Me, I'm glad I did. It was just heartbreaking, though.
