Oh yes the boy can play....
that aint workin..to play the guitar on the MTV!
I dont know if anyone caught the tail end of Guitar Hero Week on BBC FOUR last night at 9pm. It featured fab player Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts Nightclub in London's west end...and wow was it great!. It was if you like a trip down memory lane for us oul ancient rock geezers of a certain age. Jeff Beck has been around for yonks although you cant really tell to look at him. From those old days as a Yardbird.
He played here and there in various situations since but my favourite was the phenomenal guitar solo he played on that Roger Waters(pink floyd) album. The name escapes me for the moment although I have it here...it must be an age thing!lol
But he played some fantastic stuff and was joined at the end of the evening by other stratocaster maestro Eric Clapton. Was great to watch legends who are able to deliver live.
Also on was Dover born Joss Stone. Joss rather freakily has the voice of a 50 year old black woman, and must be the re-incarnation of a gospel singer from Alabama, she delivers of course, relishing rather introvertly in the power of her own voice. The audience need not be there as she does so little projection, and I have to say she's not my particular cup of chaw!
