GREYSHOTT FOLK CLUB

24 APRIL 2018

 

 

For a man of 72 you would think he should be slowing down a bit, this is not the case for Colin Blunstone he seems busier now than ever. Having just finished a tour in America with the Zombies he out and about touring the uk. Tonight in a packed village hall that doubles as a folk club, we are about to understand why.

 

With a great backing band of Pete Billington, Steve Rodford, Eliot Manson, and Manolo Polidario  we are treated to a glorious night of outstanding music. Both set of around 45 minutes are full of musings and hits including  I don't believe in miracles .Any other way, Caroline goodbye a song written about a lost love, which you still feel hurts, but as he says he got a hit from it. What becomes of the broken-hearted a hit in 1981 with Dave Stewart has taken on a more soulful feel and sounds much more true to the original now. the first set finishes on another Motown tune  Tracks of my tears.

 

The second set it lifted to a higher bar with stunning versions of say you don't mind, and a beautiful chilling to the bone old and wise. The backing band obviously enjoy playing with Colin and it not just a band going through the motions with Manolo Plidario faultless play and interesting collection of guitars adding to the enjoyment. Time of the season  and she s not there bring the show to an end in the only way possible. Thank you Colin for a out standing night of music.

LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE

LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE

ID BUILD A SHRINE

OR A TEMPLE

TO A GOD

LESS JUDGEMENTAL

IF I KNEW

THERE WAS LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE


A GOD TO PRAY TO

IN THE EAST

AND IN THE WEST

NOT JUST ON

YOU'RE LASTS DAYS

IF I KNEW

THERE WAS LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE


WOULD IT MATTER

WHAT YOU DID

YOU COULD SPEND

YOU'RE LIFE IN A PIT

IF YOU KNEW

THERE WAS LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE


YOU COULD BE GOOD

YOU COULD BE BAD

HOW MANY COULD YOU KILLED

BEFORE THEY TOOK

AWAY YOUR BADGE

IF THERE WAS

LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE


WOULD LIFE MEAN

ANYTHING AT ALL

OR WOULD I SPEND

MY DAYS

PISSING IN THE POOL

IF I KNEW

THERE WAS LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE


GOD COME SHOW ME NOW

TELL ME ITS NOT

ALL A WASTE

SHOW ME THERE'S

LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE


ID GIVE UP ALL

THE BAD THINGS IN MY LIFE

IF I KNEW THERE WAS ETERNAL

DAY AND NIGHT

JUST GIVE ME A SIGN

MAKE ME A BELIEVER

TONIGHT

SHOW ME THERE'S

LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE

LIES

LIES

through my eyes

I see your lies

they come flooding back

through the tears

I cant hold back

when I think of you

and me

and those lies

those lies consume me

those lies still

wont sent me free

I'm drowning in

the tears of misery .
