Yesterday I went to see Luka Bloom play at a record shop here in Amsterdam. He played for over an hour, much longer than I expected. And he was good. He just played quiet songs, new ones and songs from the Sleep album.
A different environment for a concert. The shop was fairly busy before Luka started to play, but once he sat down just about everybody came to listen and it became quiet very quickly. The shop was pretty full. A different concert too. A lot of daylight for one. Then the audience standing and Luka sitting down, very unusual. After a few songs he was joined by a couple of musicians, Suzi Ng on violin and Claudia Chambers on cajon. They worked together very well.
It was lovely hearing the new, gentle songs, and a few older ones. And what was really wonderful was that Luka played some brand new songs too. A beautiful love song about Amsterdam. Just the one guitar this time, gentle playing and singing. Very beautiful.
