As inferred by RC Robertson-Glasgow - the esteemed cricket writer - great theatre enhances the comfort of its surroundings. Tonight, the Kitchen Garden's wooden dining chairs have never felt more comfortable for a near two-hour main set.
As inferred by Willie Nelson - you probably know him - once a song is out, it's yours. A sentiment echoed from Hannah Aldridge in the show's closing moments.
Razor Wire first surfaced on these pages May 18th 2014; the initial live festival experience six weeks later. Within a year the first gig, and the unforgettable Parchman slow dance in Bromsgrove. Who are we to judge?
2024, and the anniversary tour. No two Hannah Aldridge gigs are alike. Tonight, a new duo format with Katie Bates, whose guitar skills exquisitely complement the songs, coating a fresh identity. This evening is about reflection - ten years.
A Decade
A decade of evolving imagery. Decorating a blank canvas
with the water colours of perceptive music.
Creating a collage of poignant songs born of fluidity.
Gifts carved from the heart.
A decade of connecting, bonding and matching
the dedication of a distinct band of followers toe to toe.
Threading the tiers of life through both a peripheral and focussed lens.
Craft touching souls.
A decade of change. For good, For necessity. Exploring
shade from alternate angles. Turning dark into the light of meaningful
creations. Old faces. New faces that may become old faces.
Echoes of country, metal, noir.
A decade of shedding layers, baring bones. Growing a
fresh exterior providing shelter for those moments of insecurity.
Reflecting and pondering the journey. What next, who next, where next?
Forever forging alliances.
A decade of caressing a precious gift. The ability to move others.
To make occasions special. To spice familiarity with fresh droplets
of candid expression. From Razor Wire to Dream of America via Gold Rush.
Sealing the art of interaction.
