I'm really excited! I've just purchased tickets to see Eddi Reader in concert at The Perth Concert Hall. The gig is on Sunday, April 21st, 2024. This will be the first time I've seen her perform.
A review, hopefully with photos, will follow shortly afterwards.
Eddi Reader & band
Perth Concert Hall
April 21 2024
It was a superb concert with fine musicianship, superlative singing, and many humorous anecdotes. None of that was a surprise. Eddi is a one-off.
The songs were mostly her own repertoire, which included traditional, folk and pop. Although, the accompaniment was entirely acoustic. She also cited Édith Piaf as an influence, and proceeded to do an over-the-top impersonation.
The gig started on time, lasted ~135 mins, with no encore.
We were seated in the balcony front row. which gave us an excellent view, albeit rather far away. I was rather surprised that the venue hadn't sold out. The stalls were full, but, the balcony only had a few hardy souls in addition to us.
Eddi complimented Scotland as being a fine country, and listed some of her favourite places. She then said she wasn't so sure about Edinburgh. No doubt that anecdote will be amended when she plays Edinburgh's Queen's Hall in a few days time. 😃
