14 years!  And what a fantastic, enlightening period it has been. We have been exposed to artists we have loved for a long time but, more importantly, we have been introduced to artists we never knew existed but have grown to love and admire. And it’s all due to the tenacity of Ron and Hilary who have created this wonderful opportunity for us all to enjoy such a variety of artistry.

As always, and as Hilary highlighted last night, there are others to show our appreciation to. The Caroline Street Club has established itself as a wonderful place for us all to enjoy these riches and we should also celebrate the dedication of the volunteers, photographers and everyone else who has been involved in sustaining The Live Room.

And the concert itself? Another great event, this time from Stephen Fearing and The Sentimentals. They gave us a much appreciated performance. Great songs, fabulous musicians, music with a kick and the apposite advice of not chatting too much when tuning. 

What a wonderful way to celebrate 14 years of the best all round roots music club in West Yorkshire.

The long awaited, overdue visit of Stephen Fearing. It was worth the wait. Born in Vancouver in 1963, he moved at six years old with his mother to Dublin, his schoolmates included future members of U2. He is now based again in Canada.

Judging from the number of requests from the audience he had brought along a small army of dedicated followers. A really superb night, great songwriting, humour, storytelling and exceptional guitar work. I can’t really say much more other than I am also going to the sold out Filey show tonight (4th November) AND I’ve managed to travel to Filey and also done the shots.

Sound was superb (as usual), the lighting (not as usual) was also great. I really hope the next visit is next year when his new album should be available. A very satisfied and happy crowd went home in a great mood to start the coming week.
