| Richie Havens: Celtic Connections 2007 **** |

Unfortunately on arriving late, we only caught the last 2 tunes of David Ferrard, who was playing the support slot for Havens. We did hear 'Hills Of Virginia' and 'One Hell Of A Ride' both performed to David's usual standard. Richie Havens, a man of unrivaled credentials lived up fully to expectations, beginning his set with an off the cuff anicdote about his first meeting with Bob Dylan, before breaking into 'All Along The Watchtower'. Along with performing many of his best original numbers, including a fantastic rendition of 'Motherless Child' culminating in a 4 foot high flying scissor kick, proving he has the energy to continue playing for a good few years yet. All in all a great night, thoroughly recommended. |
