It was a rather chilly performance, due to the lack of heat in the venue (a small church), but the music was great. As the usual Chanters had other commitments (for example, Lindsay Horner is in Europe to promote the release (or was that re-release?) of a Chromatic Persuaders album), Susan was accompanied by Aidan Brennan, whose most recent credits include playing guitar and mandola on a few tracks on Loreena McKennitt's _The Book of Secrets_. Though Friday's show was only the second time Aidan had performed with Susan I thought he did a fine job. There were a few very minor problems, but his skilled playing added an interesting element to the performance. As for Susan, her voice was in fine form and her guitar playing was quite good as well. Noticing the limitations of the PA system and the size of the venue, she stepped away from the microphone for all of her vocal-only songs and parts of other songs. Hearing her powerful voice directly was quite a treat. Here's the set list: Bonny Boy Ce Leis E Love & Superstition Chance Are Fuck You Ballinaboula Banks of Claudy Daddy's Little Girl Jericho Westlin Winds Bushes and Briers Maire Bhruithneal Bones Albatross Snakes God Woman Though it was Susan's first appearance at Me & Thee, and I believe most of the crowd was probably unfamilar with her work, they certainly seemed enthusiastic in their appreciation. I think there is now a sizable contingent of Susan McKeown fans in Marblehead. As for me, it was the first time I had heard Susan's rendition of Maire Bruithneal (a song that appeared on one of Clannad's early albums) and I thought she did a wonderful job with it. The rest of the songs were, as always, great as well. I'm certainly glad I made to the trek up to Marblehead. Susan is embarking on a west coast tour starting next week, so those of you out there on the other coast should take advantage of the chance to catch Susan live. She'll be joined by Aidan for all of the west coast gigs, and Lindsay will be at all but the Tractor Tavern show.
