Show Of Hands Gig..
I saw Show of Hands last Tuesday on Oxford Street.
They seemed a little worn down. They won Best Duo (poor Miranda!) at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards the night before! Does this mean they were hungover? The recordings on the Mike Harding show certainly give the impression that there was some merriment... practically everyone got wolf-whistled and impish double-entendre was the order of the day!
"I came out here to.."
"Ha ha!""
etc.
Miranda Sykes does feel a little bit of an outsider. I first saw Show of Hands as two blokes sharing a stage and joking around. This is still the case and Miranda is rather a silent partner during proceedings...
At the end of the set I shouted till I was hoarse for "Longdog". No joy. I play the recording at my open mic every time, it's a tradition. I couldn't help feeling a little dissappointed! :-<
