Re: Tommy Emmanuel Sept 23rd
nah, saw him once, was enough just too preachy for my delicate sensitivities....
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Don't mind him, he's just grinching.griff7628 wrote:Preachy? Really?

Re: Tommy Emmanuel Sept 23rd
yeah he was in welly a few years back, with that and him going on about his wife - who was playing with him - it just made me want to snooze after awhile. Not my kind of thing really anyway

I think Tommy is the only performer I've ever seen receive a standing ovation from a Kiwi audience. We just don't do that.

Speaking of Tommy... has anyone seen/herad Joe Robinson? Seems very TE-esque...

Dunno, there was a standing ovation at Carmen on Saturday, and one a short while back at Amadeus. Perhaps you go to the wrong eventsSlowy wrote:I think Tommy is the only performer I've ever seen receive a standing ovation from a Kiwi audience. We just don't do that.

100% sure I do.Bg wrote: Perhaps you go to the wrong events
Actually, it's the opposite; my GAS habit means I don't get to go to live shows... or restaurants....or cafes.
I just get to go home.

Re: Tommy Emmanuel Sept 23rd
Saw TE last time he was in Auckland. It was brilliant; a showcase of extraordinary talent and I am pleased I went.
I wouldn't go a second round anytime soon. Not sure why exactly, maybe because I don't have a great affinity to his type of music? I like the rawk...

Re: Tommy Emmanuel Sept 23rd
Yeah. Good for a change I say. So much electric music dominating at the moment.. but thats not a bad thing.
