[lucy-list] Urgent for anyone going to renfrew ferry tonight FW: [lucy-list] Listserve question [lucy-list] Re: leaving lucy list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 06 Dec 2001 09:32:05 +0000 (GMT) From: jeremy.briggs@baesystems.com Subject: [lucy-list] We have Bein Inn Glenfarg. Strange how some places conjure just one image in your mind. Last year in December Lucy came to play the Bein Inn near Glenfarg. Half an hours drive up the motorway from Edinburgh and in the country just south of Perth, it was very dark, very cold (literally freezing) because there was no cloud cover and the stars were magnificent. Over a mile beyond Glenfarg, on a dark, icy, twisty road that seemed to go down into the bowels of a valley, the Bein Inn was an oasis of light and warmth that appeared out of, apparently, nowhere when you drive around a corner. Last night was no different. Some day I will have to go there when it is daylight and warm. The number of cars and the difficulty parking showed that it was going to be a popular show from the start, although I was not expecting that when I opened the front door of the hotel that Lucy would come out of it - going in the opposite direction. Fortunately it was for a photographer from the local paper and inside the entrance lobby was full as people waited for the venue doors to open. A few words to Donald (from Aberdeen) and his wife Liz and then downstairs to grab a drink from the bar where I met Jenny. Returning back upstairs to get my ticket and went in to find Liz had kept me a seat (thank you). Now let us get this straight. The rumours that the Bein Inn venue is a hotel restaurant with two forklift pallets set in the bay window for a stage are entirely true. Don't let that put you off, after all tonight's concert is in a converted river ferry. The Bein Inn is a nice venue. Alice Peacock was Lucy's support and she summed it up nicely when she descibed it as like playing in her parents' front room for their friends - it is that homely. After Dar Williams' support two weeks back, Alice was a breath of fresh air who sang beautifully, chatted to us, asked questions (I wonder if anone finally explained to her afterwards why the local sheep had different colours on their backs, since no one was prepared to do it in front of the rest of the audience!) and gave a very good account of herself. But we were all there for Lucy and she didn't disappoint. Lucy admitted to not really understanding the Scottish accent but did her best to mimic it to the amusement of the audience. The selection of songs were from the more recent albums and the "Dad" song was the Alphabet Song this time. The stories were mainly new and she even checked the audience to see who had been there the previous year before telling us the Riccola story and adding the Care Package ending. She asked who was on her mailing list and only got two hands (Ian and Iain perchance?) and vaguely recognising them from the previous year claimed them as her Scottish Stalkers, before quickly adding "but that's good, I like stalkers." She treated us, by way of an aside, to the parts of Auld Langs Syne and Take the High Road that she could remember and for her first encore gave us the first song she learned to play on the guitar, George Harrison' Here Comes The Sun, before, what was for me the highlight of the night, singing Guinivere with harmonies from Alice Peacock. Stateside listers should remember that the majority of the UK listers have only ever seen Lucy and her guitar, and this was certainly the first time that I have seen her on stage with anyone else. I am definately looking forwartd to a repeat tonight. The second encore was her nod to Bob and then she was off to sign "anything" in the lobby. Those of us who then braved the -2C temperatures outside immediately afterwards probably were all thinking fondly of that open fire in the lobby with the sofas in front of it and Lucy's desire to sample some Scotch. Roll on the Renfrew Ferry tonight, it may not be as warm, welcoming and homely as the Bein Inn but with back to back Lucy and some good support from Alice, does it really matter?
