Well, it may be Sunday today but on Friday evening (there's the relevance) went to see Mark Barnwell in Taunton and was blown away. It was a new venue for me, intimate and welcoming and with a choice of 5 ciders (one was Thatcher's but I'll stretch a point there). Wonderful music too. Checked out the half time score at Derby and didn't know the result till the end so concert not spoiled.

Mark plays Spanish guitar - so flamenco, some classical and also his takes on mainstream pop and it's one of those that I chose to post here as it'll have more general appeal. I was amazed how he could take a fairly mundane pop tune and improve it so much. This is one but there were others:

[Dodgin]

Great version Holders.

[Holders]

Great version Holders.

Thanks Dodgin.

Here's another - on his previous appearance at the venue:

Excellent find Holders. Must have been a great concert .

[Holders]

Yeah, loved it. My partner found it and was a bit unsure whether to mention it to me as she knows that I'm not a great lover of mainstream guitar music but when she said that he played flamenco and baroque I was all for it.

Just walking in to the small venue in Taunton put me in a good mood (plus free parking after 6pm and a bar selling proper cider) but the music was wonderful. It was the best concert I've been to for years (not that there's been many in the last couple!). As I said above, his enhancements of a few routine pop tunes were outstanding but apart from Hotel California I can't remember the others. It takes a very good musician to play around the tune and still keep its essence. Martin Hayes can do it - and my mate Dave Young.
