I rarely get enthusiastic about the shows that I go to - they are chosen by my wife and I go along.
But tonight was one of the best shows I've been to in a very long time.
It was 'Inside American Pie' by a small group of musicians and storytellers from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
This was at Curve in Leicester.
This was a musical documentary about the meanings & histories of & around the Don McLean song American Pie.
There were words, of course, but some fabulous retakes of songs from the era that the song references.
If particular note were a re-imagining of the worst Lennon song ever - 'Imagine' which actually gave it some soul & an amazing rendition evoking Janis Joplin.
I was blown away how they segue'd Sympathy For The Devil into Gimme Shelter.
If this is small town Canadian music - give me more!
If you're anywhere near Leicester and tickets are available, just go.

Long long time ago I can still remember when my gender used to make me cry…
But I knew if I had my chance, hrt could help me be trans and maybe I’d be happy for a while.
