This is post no. 600 on Lampenfieber Music Blog. Something, which actually started as just a side project to my other photo tumblr. 

Time to say thank you to anyone who actually is reading this and is looking at my photographs. In a way, this is mainly a sort of public music diary  I haven’t made much effort to spread the news about this blog. So thank you for finding me!

I want to “celebrate” this day by featuring the artist behind one of my favorite albums from 2016, Frankie Cosmos. 

I was lucky to see Greta Kline’s music project twice at last year’s The Great Escape in Brighton. There was something awkward and shy about her live performance. In a way, the pictures are a bit misleading - mostly Greta Kline had her eyes closed during her sets, like a teenager performing for the first time in front of an audience. But that actually made the concerts quite refreshing, in an environment where even new and upcoming bands usually already are incredibly professional and (seemingly) cool.

In a way it also was fitting the beautiful fragility and poetry of her lyrics.

One of my discoveries at this year’s The Great Escape was Julia Jacklin from Australia. I got to see her and her band twice furing the festival.

In three weeks her debut album “Don't Let The Kids Win” will be released. I am going to mark my calendar.

10/10: Danpyunsun and the Sailors

The Great Escape is a celebration of musical diversity and there was no better way to finish the weekend than with one of the most eclectic of the lot. The show was set in the conference room of a hotel, but as we entered to neon stage lighting draped across a drum kit complete with wind chimes and various other miscellaneous percussion, it didn’t take long to be…

Feature: The Great Escape Highlights (9/10)

The wonderful @cmacconiomaire is Part 9 of my @thegreatescape highlights #TGE16

9/10: Colm Mac Con Iomaire

One of the most beautiful live sets of music I’ve ever witnessed, not only at The Great Escape but anywhere. Colm awed the crowd with his wonderful fiddle melodies, made even more perfect thanks to his accomplices on piano and guitar.

Sometimes you just have to stare in slack-jawed wonder at masters of a craft and Colm certainly qualifies. Check out his websitefor music…
