Due to the surplus amount of social media I guess people’s enthusiasm for posting about the gigs on here has
diminished. There was a time when the Group/Qrt/Trio whatever would play a gig in a remote town in Poland and at
least 10 people would use what English they know to tell us how great it was. So, what I’m saying is... how the gigs
going out on the Continent? No need for a setlist or review but just, you know, the vibe... |

Saw Unity Group in Manchester a few years ago at the Lowry where the acoustics were superb. Really looking
forward to see/hear the quartet in Belfast on Tuesday.

Yet another great Pat Metheny gig chalked up in London last night - what a delight. Lucky Hull tonight then Dublin,
Belfast, Iceland.

I went to see the quartet for the third time yesterday evening in over a year. I was at Ronnie Scotts in London in
2016, which was a fantastic experience because of the legendary venue and the intimacy but yesterday was
another fantastic gig on another level. The band played a whole other setlist compared to last year with a lot of
tunes from the early albums but with a lot of improvisation and personal touches, especially by pianist Gwilym
Simcock who was simply sublime! As always it was a treat to see Antonio at work who for me is without any doubt the best
drummer around. I was also very excited with the performance of Linda Oh, who grew a lot within the band
compared to last year. And Pat? What is there to say, it’s seems he’s getting even better with the years, simply a
genius, I just love him.
Also the crowd was very respectfull. People understood the music, were very much into the concert and
applauded on the right moments. So for those amongst you waiting to go out there and see the quartet : you will
enjoy!! Be well.

Will see and hear Pat and the quartet just this weekend, on Saturday, in Budapest. I am sure the vibe will be as usual.
Can’t wait for the magic. Will try and give some nice eloquent feedback afterwards.

I attended two gigs; Luzern and
Geneva in Switzerland. Two vastly different
venues, one modern and purpose built, the
other dating back to 1850 ish and known for
classical concerts. So very different in terms
of sound and vibe. What they had in common
was that Pat and the band seemed to be
loving every minute, he had a permanent grin
on his face throughout. They were “cookin” both nights as
they say! For me
it’s back home to the UK and a two week wait
for the London Jazz Festival gig at the
Barbican, it’ll be interesting to compare the
gigs with a fortnights worth of playing in
between.
