i'm lucky enough to have seen bert play a number of times in the last ten years before he passed away

the songs are eternal, of course

but without the man himself, weaving that magic, hearing others play them can sometimes ring a little hollow

i didn't much fancy the big festival hall bash for (what would have been) his 80th

big names doffing their hats

but this much more intimate show, courtesy of broadside hacks, seemed a lot more appealing

in the end the chat to music ratio leans a little too heavily on the former

(though wizz jones' reflections on his old friend are particularly good value)

but when the music does come, it does the absent guest of honour very proud indeed

great to see wizz and jacqui thoroughly enjoying the otherwise under-30s beside them on stage

and that BH crowd, stuffed with practical teenagers, being so vocally enthusiastic for this old music

a particularly fine moment when compere, jon wilks, tries to 'explain' just exactly who ewan maccoll is

and a hearty yell comes back at him "WE KNOW!!"

anyway - like i say, it's the music you'll come for if you grab this

and hopefully you'll get introduced to some excellent new talent in the process

i think bert would approve

enjoy
