September In The Rain

"September in the rain" from the "People Powered: Concerts For Corbyn" The Dome Brighton 16th December, with Robert Wyatt, Paul Weller, Danny Thompson and others (?).

Would have loved to be there, and hoping for some high quality videos!


Added 18 December:

"Mass medium" and talk by Robert right here.

And as mentioned in a comment:
The other musicians on stage were Steve Pilgrim and Ben Gordelier.

People Powered: Concerts for Corbyn

Tonight is the first concert in a national series called "People Powered: Concerts For Corbyn".

"A wide range of incredible artists will be performing at Brighton Dome, including a collaboration between the legendary Paul Weller, Robert Wyatt and Danny Thompson, a performance by the iconic band The Farm, roots reggae with Ghetto Priest, psychedelic pop with Temples and the singer songwriting magic of Kathryn Williams, and many more".

Oh My - More French Music!

Two videos were embedded here from Youtube -

But HEY - where did those videos go?
I´ll leave the blog post anyway, to keep the the little info we have here:

Here are some French artists I know nothing about, but they throw some Robert Wyatt into the mix!

First - Barbara Carlotti: Le Chant des Machines "with a mix of "Sea Song" by Robert Wyatt and "Stay" by Rihanna" (YouTube)!?

Second - O: Azerty "with a mix of "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys, "Sea Song" by Robert Wyatt and "Le Clan des Siciliens" by Ennio Morricone" (YouTube)!

Damn my rusty French, but this looks and sounds interesting!

A work (only live?) freely inspired by Robert Wyatt's album "Rock Bottom".
