It’s not a “trilogy’ at all, but the three Shakespeare plays involving shipwrecks are presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company with an ensemble company in 2012.

Reviews of all three are here:

RIP Levon Helm

Levon Helm of The Band died this afternoon after a long battle with cancer. Levon’s voice was the soundtrack to so many of the most important moments of my life, The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, King Harvest, Daniel and The Sacred Harp  all have very personal meaning to me, and so does his singing and playing to the lives of so many others. His indomitable spirit shines out, as it always has. If you have to list the men I have admired most in my life, Levon Helm is right in the first rank. My thoughts to Sandy Helm, Amy Helm, Garth and Maud Hudson, Robbie Robertson and all his family and friends.

My fourth concert by The Unthanks at The Point, Eastleigh reviewed today. Brilliant as ever, and no songs from December’s show. Very few from last Spring!

Review of the first gig on the 2012 UK Tour by The Simone Felice Band. Last year’s solo show was one of the best I’ve ever seen. This year, adding a four piece band, he was better,
