The other night we shared a wedding anniversary present - an excellent meal at The Apothecary 1878 in Hindley Street. Lovely old venue, excellent food and wine. Great staff.
Darren Percival was the runner-up on The Voice last year. We didn't really watch the show, but managed to catch a couple of Darren's performances and were very impressed. He's been touring with a Ray Charles tribute on the back of an album. This was the last night of a six month tour. It was a fantastic evening. Great songs, great band. Darren invests his songs with his being in a way that I've rarely seen, transparently joyous and melancholic, effervescent and infectious. You can't help but delight in seeing someone so happy in sharing their gift. [BTW he also does amazing stuff with loop pedals...] Here's a taste of the show...
