I went to see Australian ‘jazz’ trio, The Necks on Saturday night. It was, without doubt, one of the greatest live performances I’ve ever seen. For a trio equipped with traditional acoustic instruments normally associated with jazz, they produced some of the most inspiring and intoxicating music I’d ever heard in a live environment. Not only that – but they made it up as they went along. For a detailed review, check out the report on Mapsadaisical’s site or this one by Adam Wood.
Such is the irony, that the people that call themselves ‘music fans’ and went along to the 40th anniversary of the Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts and completely missed this should be kicking their sunburned arses for the remainder of the year.
