Sing, David! Sing!

One of the things I miss from last summer (about the only thing, truth be known) is the sheer diversity of live music in Huddersfield. We still have live music, but the ambition amongst promoters doesn't seem to be there right now. Gig of last year? Probably Duke Special/David Ford at the Cornerhouse. A quality lineup that had me spellbound and (does this sound odd?) optimistically heartbroken from start to finish. Since then, David has gone from breaking hearts with a stripped-down set to being way, way too big for a place like ours - yet he's still a relatively unknown quantity. This summer, Dave's been doing the US, more's the pity for us stuck back here- and this is what we've been missing: Don't Tell Me, live at The Living Room in NYC. Gorgeous. It brings back memories: some more embarrassing than others...
