One Man & One Guitar

While I sit up destroying my F5 keys in the frantic hunt for Glastonbury tickets. It seems fairly apt to tell you all about a fantastic gig I saw, and shot, last week.

The headline act was one Willie Mason (not Willie Nelson, with whom I had confused Mason on more than one occasion), an American Singer-Songwriter. Support was provided by a man I had never heard of, by the name of Marcus Foster. Both of these two have a penchant for steel-string acoustic guitars and simple but powerful songs. I give a special note to Marcus Foster, who has a fantastic, haunting voice and writes some excellent stuff.

As anyone who knows me will testify, its not too often I go out of my way to listen to 'proper' songs, as written by these two gents, and so it was a great reminder of the amazing power that can be wielded by one man and his guitar. For all the maximal, 174bpm relentless tunes that I normally get off on, sometimes stripping everything back can be just as effective.

I'm now off to google Marcus Foster Breakcore Remix ;-)
