Scary stuff this announcement and introduction job! Some musicians introduce their songs and their personnel. Some don't. Paul Williamson (trumpet) is one of the latter. Ah well, I guess that's way things go.Paul has been in Ireland and the pieces this quartet played tonight were written there, from an outsider's perspective (so says the media information).
Playing with Paul tonight were Geoff Hughes (guitar), Des White (bass) and James McLean (drums). Is James as young as he looks? He looks about 17. I really enjoyed his playing. He was paying attention, watching, adjusting... and engaged. Geoff and Des are that sort of player too so it was an interesting set.
With no announcements, I asked Paul for the set list afterwards. There were four songs:
- Aftermath
- You're only a Muppet.
- Green land, grey skies
- Knuckles and chuckles (whose name puts me in mind of Ireland simply from the stories my brother told me from when he lived there for a while)
