To tide(!) us over the wait for Scottish dates here is what happened the last time in case you didn't catch it on the DarList. *************************************************************** LUCY KAPLANSKY - 31 MAY 1999 Lucy played the Ramshorn Theatre in Glasgow on Monday 31 May 1999. The Dar-List contingent of Lesley, Steven, Pam, Kathy and myself were virtually first in the queue waiting for the doors to open and when they did we were able to nab the front row centre table with enough seats for all of us. The theatre itself is part of the University of Strathclyde and is used as their Drama Centre. It is actually a converted church which seats 100 and Lucy had sold the place out as part of Glasgow's Big Big Country Festival. With no stage as such, just an area at the front on the same level as the audience, Steven and I could have spent the entire evening with our feet resting on the artist's loudspeakers, we were that close. Lucy appeared in her ubiquitous black leather jacket to discover that the opening act singer was considerably taller than her and that the microphone was pointing over her head. So after a fiddle to get the mike into a more appropriate position she was off into both C3's and her own songs. Her attempt at a Glasgow greeting met with some amusement but she soon got into her stride by suggesting that the term Glaswegian sounded like an alien race from Star Trek. She seemed to enjoy herself after she had got the measure of the audience, Glasgow audiences being notorious for giving performers a hard time, and even told us that she could see everyone smiling at her in the small auditorium. In amongst her own songs we were treated to That's Mathematics and The Song About Pi from her father and the fact that after she mentioned her father's e-mail address at an Alaskan concert he had received some 50 e-mails which had delighted him. Later on, when she got thirsty, she asked for a drink from the bar to be brought over to her with the comment that wasn't it sacrilegious to drink alcohol in a church. Other than the stories about her father, she told us the story about her mother phoning her in a taxi about the new album, how much she enjoyed being on the C3 tour bus and denied that the infamous kitchen floor incident ever took place. After her encore she was out almost immediately to sign autographs and to chat, apologising that the cover of Ten Year Night was not really the right colour to sign autographs in black pen on. The meet and greet seemed to surprise a lot of the audience but it certainly increased the CD sales once they realised what was going on and a lot of people were impressed that she was asking them questions and personalising their autographs. So a great concert and a good night was had by all (see what you missed Phil). Roll on the next UK Dar tour so we can do it all over again. *************************************************************** Actually roll on the next Lucy tour - visiting the UK twice in one year, what have we done to be so lucky? Apparently Jenny was at the table beside us, would anyone else like to admit that they were there as well? And while we are on the subject of concerts, is anyone else going to see Mary Chapin Carpenter/Catie Curtis at the Armadillo in Glasgow on 23 October? Also to pick up a point that Sharon G suggested about phoning the venues Lucy had played before, the last time she played Edinburgh was at La Belle Angelle, so it might be worth trying there as well.

Yeah, my wife and I were at the Ramshorn show which was great. We had also travelled to Auld Reekie (Edinburgh) in Jan 98 to see Lucy at the Belle Angele. What is address of Dar List, I might log on? - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: 08 October 1999 09:14 Subject: [lucy-list] Lucy in Central Scotland > Dear All > > as Jenny says there are loads of us here in Scotland, even if most of > us lurk on the DarList rather than this one. > > To tide(!) us over the wait for Scottish dates here is what happened > the last time in case you didn't catch it on the DarList. > > *************************************************************** > > LUCY KAPLANSKY - 31 MAY 1999 > > Lucy played the Ramshorn Theatre in Glasgow on Monday 31 May 1999. > > The Dar-List contingent of Lesley, Steven, Pam, Kathy and myself were > virtually first in the queue waiting for the doors to open and when > they did we were able to nab the front row centre table with enough > seats for all of us.
