Last night a group of us went to see Eddi Reader at our intimate local venue, The Clarendon. Eddi has one of the best voices I've heard and she is passionately present during every song. She is a pretty eclectic artist and mixed ballads like 'Dolphins' with poems(set to music) by Robbie Burns. Her three piece band included long-time collaborator, Boo Hewerdine, whose slightly harder edge pieces provided contrast to the folkier elements of Eddi's repetoire. A great night!
As we emerged from The Clarendon, it was snowing! Yes, its winter, but its been warmer than average so the cold snap has come as a shock. But how beautiful to see cars covered in white and how sweet of my friends to make snow balls and hurl them at me!
