As musicians we have learned that who you play music with is of such vital importance. Whilst many musicians learn technical skills, and can slot into a line up and do a job of work with competence and perhaps flair, playing for us is as much about sharing an outlook and the focus that gives us. When working, our focus is on the story of the songs; on the feel of the songs and we create a soundworld accordingly. In performance, by listening to each other and moulding what we do to create those soundworlds, our intention is to share a song that lives and breathes.
Those of you who have read our blog before will remember way back, reflections on a Masterclass with Peter Knight. And one of his oft said pieces of advice is, “It’s the music that is the star of the show.” If you are in Kent and in the vicinity of Ashford next Friday, 10th March, come along the Revelation St Mary in Ashford and hear Peter Knight’s Gigspanner. Then you will indeed hear three musicians at the height of their game playing music which is really is the star of the show. Not to be missed. Follow the link here.http://gigspanner.com/live.html
