apparently bbc do not film in the acoustic tent, so looks like lu’s performance has been lost to history.

I went over to catch some of Lucinda’s set on Sunday night at Glastonbury, we got there through “Drunken Angel”.
I am really new to her music but what a gift it has been to me in these last ten days, I read an article in my national newspaper in Scotland about her upcoming concert in Edinburgh on 24/06/2013, liked the interview and started listening with “Fancy Funeral”, immediately I recognised the voice from a duet she once did with Elvis Costello called “Theres a story in your voice” which I now understand was written for her.
I got some tickets and went along to the gig. I didn’t think that the set did her songs and voice a great deal of justice but I enjoyed the show tremendously. The grungy, minimalist style of set took a bit of getting used to from the warm production of her recordings.
Anyways,the part of the set I caught at Glastonbury was ok, not inspiring or inspired.

I am continuing to work through Lucinda’s back catalogue, I just listened to “If wishes were horses”….what a great song.
If you want to give me some pointers, that would be great
