Ward Thomas, Hyde Park Review

17/07/2018 by Peter Viney

I’ve been working back from end to beginning of BST Summer Time at Hyde Park, and here’s the final review, Ward Thomas (LINKED). Described as a “country pop” act, they were the first British country act to achieve a #1 album with Cartwheels in 2016. If you like First Aid Kit, The Webb Sisters, Jennifer Nettles (and I like all of them), you’ll love them.

17/07/2018 by Peter Viney

Sadly a much too short set from Shawn Colvin (SEE LINK) at BST Summertime, Hyde Park on the side stage. We wanted more … and on the main stage!

Johnny Flynn, Hyde Park review

17/07/2018 by Peter Viney

Review of Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit  (FOLLOW LINK) at BST Summertime, Hyde Park, 2018. The band is new to me, but his theatre work is very familiar. More on him than the music, which I intend to explore in much greater depth!

Me & My Girl – review

12/07/2018 by Peter Viney

Review of Me & My Girl (LINKED HERE) at Chichester Festival Theatre. Every year, Chichester produces a classic musical with a lavish production and brilliant music. Here it’s that most English of 1930s musicals, Me & My Girl 1937. It caused a sensation as star Matt Lucas missed press night, and the understudy, Ryan Pidgen received a “frenzied standing ovation”.

08/07/2018 by Peter Viney

Review of Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore added (FOLLOW LINK TO REVIEW). This stars Aidan Turner (aka Ross Poldark) as Padraig, the terrorist too mad for the IRA. McDonagh’s black comedy is a wonder to watch. A full five star production directed by Michael Grandage.
