Babybird, Fibbers, York, March 17
9:36am Wednesday 17th March 2010
FOURTEEN years on from You’re Gorgeous, and Babybird’s Stephen Jones is still making beautifully miserable music, black of humour and dark of lyric, yet uplifting.
Review: Two Door Cinema Club, Fibbers, York
10:03am Tuesday 16th March 2010
WITH the tag of “one of the bands of 2010” nailed firmly to their door, it was no surprise to see that Two Door Cinema Club’s Fibbers gig was sold out and packed to the rafters with eager fans and curious listeners.
Review: Turin Brakes, The Duchess, York, Sunday
9:30am Monday 15th March 2010
FOLK-POP duo Turin Brakes performed to an appreciative crowd at The Duchess last night, even singing without microphones at one point.
Review: Jane McDonald, Grand Opera House, York
12:05pm Saturday 13th March 2010
Jane McDonald first and foremost is a very good singer. She is also gregarious, affable, attractive, and astute, but alas at times a little too much ITV.
Jazz notes
1:19pm Friday 12th March 2010
YOUR usual man-about-town Ron Burnett is on a jazz expedition to Ghana at the moment. He will report back in a couple of weeks.
Review: Bootleg Beatles, Grand Opera House, York
12:41pm Friday 12th March 2010
The Bootleg Beatles show succeeds on many levels. Of course first and foremost there is the music. Deftly delivered and a joy to listen to.
Tickets for Pete Doherty's gig in York sell out
7:53am Friday 12th March 2010
TICKETS have sold out in a record 90 minutes this morning for Pete Doherty's first gig in York with his band Babyshambles since 2004.
The Seasons, York University Choir / Northern Sinfonia; York Minster
4:20pm Thursday 11th March 2010
Though it has never enjoyed the popularity of The Creation, its sister oratorio, Haydn’s last completed work The Seasons brings more of his prodigious genius into play. That was the irresistible message from Wednesday’s often enthralling performance in the original German, conducted by Peter Seymour.
Barocca concert cancelled
4:22pm Wednesday 10th March 2010
BAROCCA’S all-female performance at the National Centre for Early Music in York on Friday has been cancelled as a result of unforeseen circumstances.
Review: Elysian Singers/Bright Cecilia; Unitarian Chapel, St Saviourgate, York
9:54am Wednesday 10th March 2010
YORK’S Late Music Concert Series (“performing new music by living composers”) sprang back into life at the weekend with a mini-festival of vocal music. Well, two events in one day, which constitutes a musical feast given the thin gruel of so many recent weekends.
