BRIDGET ST. JOHN - LIVE AT THE BETSEY TROTWOOD
(Feeding Tube FTR 474 /Shagrat ENT 024)
We are delighted to announce the arrival of:
LIVE AT THE BETSEY TROTWOOD - BRIDGET ST. JOHN
12" vinyl LP/download
In conjunction with our mates in Massachusetts, Feeding Tube Records, we are releasing a live LP by one of the true great British singer/ songwriters of her generation, Bridget St. John. It coincides with the 50th anniversary of her debut 45 and LP on John Peel's Dandelion label.
In February 2017 after a couple of false starts, I managed to get Bridget to play a special show at the Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon. It was a magical performance and fortunately for those not lucky enough to be there, her set was recorded for posterity. Mixed and mastered by the ever reliable Mr Tony Poole (himself a performer on that same Saturday afternoon), we are presenting Bridget's complete set (shorn of just a few spoken intros and of course in-between song guitar tunings). Running at almost 50 minutes, we are releasing this as a 12" vinyl LP/download.
The record is a stellar mix of choice cover versions, Bridget classics and some of her newer songs.
