OFF: waterfalls in space gig in exeter

[Jill Strobridge]

Just back and dodging round bits of kitchen unit scattered throughout the 
house.   Upgrading the kitchen seems like a nice idea until it is actually 
happening 8-(

'Selene, Spirit of the Moon'.   It can sound quite haunting and ethereal but 
needed a rather more delicate touch than it was given on this occasion. 
Not the best track of the evening but overall it was indeed an excellent 
show and well worth the journey down.    Jean Phillippe added extra layers 
and depth to the sound and when they were playing keyboards together Jean 
Phillippe was able to interweave his melodies through Tim Blake's themes and 
created a gorgeous, surprisingly full sound but there wasn't nearly enough 
of it and it didn't go on nearly long enough!     I was entirely 
stunned/mesmerised by the beauty of it - dancing quite happily around the 
place - most people were - and though it was a small audience there was no 
doubt at all about their appreciation.   They made enough noise at the end 
for twice as many!

The two morons started off in front of me but then thankfully moved away. 
They were surprisingly young, but had clearly heard Tim Blake playing 
before, perhaps several times, but they were very, very drunk (or something 
equivalent) and though obviously enjoying every minute this seemed to take 
the form of relating this fact to each other very loudly at distressingly 
regular intervals.

But apart from that it was a thoroughly satisfactory and emotionally 
relaxing evening and I felt entirely content afterwards which doesn't often 
happen after a gig.    And to anyone who missed it - my sympathies - you 
missed a good one.

Good luck to Tim in the coming months and my good wishes and support for 
whatever lies ahead.
