My video taking started in Chicago where I lived until 2009. Since then, my videos have primarily been taken in London, where I moved to in 2009, but are also from elsewhere around the UK, Ireland and Europe where I've travelled to see bands. I have a lot of Suede videos! My other videos are of Cathal Coughlan and related (from 2018) and lots of indiepop bands.
Bernard Butler, 'London Snow' @ St Mattias Church, London 6.6.24
The start of Bernard's 'world tour'! Following nearly a week of in-stores, he played his first proper show and wow, what a treat it was. The only thing was, I'd spent the day interviewing and had to be up early again the next day for more interviews so was absolutely knackered and had to get home west so I left a bit early. I'm sorry!
This was a joyful show. He played a lot of his new album, Good Grief, and he said this was the first live outing of this song. Nice! He also played some old solo songs, some McAlmont + Butler songs and some he wrote with Jessie Buckley. It was a fabulous mix showing the depth and breadth of all he has written over the decades. I also enjoyed how his son Charlie was his guitar tech and kept switching out guitars every few songs.
It was an absolutely gorgeous church on the Dalston/Stoke Newington border with a lovely garden around it that made it feel almost rural. It was beautiful but the pews were nearly backless and so painful! Still, it was worth it.

Bernard Butler, 'Living the Dream' @ Rough Trade East, London 31.5.24

This was Bernard's record release day! Momentous! We squished into Rough Trade East for his special show. (And shout out to the in store DJ who played a great before show mix of Orange Juice, Happy Mondays, Belle Sebastian, The Chills...). In every BB video description I write how much I love his anecdotes and tales. I captured a few before the song kicks in. It's a great song and I've been hea...
Young Fathers, 'Drum' @ Brockwell Park, London 25.5.24

Only my love for Young Fathers could bring me out to a crowded, hot, obnoxious all day corporate festival (though it was in Brockwell Park, which I love). The festival was Wide Awake and there were some other good bands on. But I was here for Young Fathers. It's now my fourth time seeing them - I'm completely addicted. Just two months after seeing them at Royal Albert Hall, here they played out...

Last Friday, Robert Forster nearly cancelled his first London show as he was so ill. Apparently it would have been the first time he'd cancelled a show! Thankfully for us, he powered through and was just as charming, witty and erudite as always. I feel lucky to have seen Robert nearly every year since I moved to the UK and I always look forward to his stories and tales. I love this Go-Betweens ...

Blueboy, 'Dirty (Mags)' @ Water Rat's, London 18.5.24

Last night was an important one: Blueboy's full band reunion show and single launch at the smokingly hot Water Rat's. I was nervous about it because these songs stir up so many emotions that I probably try to keep down and hidden much of the time. Their duo performance at Rough Trade in January took my breath away. The second half of the set was the full band or 'full fat' version with drums, b...

Last week was my first time seeing Camera Obscura since Indietracks 10 years ago and of course since Carey Lander died. I hadn't listened to the band in a long time and used to be a big fan. I got to see them a couple of times from about 2003/4 in Chicago and in Carrboro, North Carolina, the home of their US record label, Merge Records. I so enjoyed seeing them live around that time and saw the...

Belatedly uploading my two Death Songbook videos from last month, ah. I had mixed feelings about seeing Death Songbook again. Their show in Cardiff in October 2022 was very meaningful to me and brought some big changes and newness into my life. I kind of wanted to keep that special experience in a box marked precious and remember it fondly. But of course, Death Songbook came to town and I could...

Cheers from São Paulo, I love Microdisney.
Beautiful, one of my favourite songs on Good Grief
such an amazing night‼️
Indietracks was the first time I saw them. Great band and superfestival!
Was that in 2009 or 2010?
TY for this
❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing😊
Thank you, Jen. I wish Robert had played in the north-west. It’s a lot of years since I saw him perform.
Thirty!
Thank you for recording these Jennifer and great to see you!
❤ Blue boy fans
Wow 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Blue boy rare band
Hi StringBeanJen! How are you? My name is Rafael! Do you have the vídeo for the song "Air France"? Gemma made a dedication to me at the time of the song!!! Best wishes, Rafael!!
Ah, there were so many songs I wanted to record but I just did these ones so I could swoon and singalong. Were you the fan in Brazil? I'm sure someone must have recorded 'Air France'. Good luck and keep searching!
@@StringBeanJen Yes, I'm the fan in Brazil!!! Thank you very much! Best wishes!!!❤️
Lovely Bernard ❤❤❤
Thank you for uploading these! Support from Asia
You are very welcome!
What a fabulous night you lucky souls! “1, 2, 3, 4!”
I know! I can barely believe a full band show happened.
Absolutely gorgeous in all its full band glory 💙
Indeed, with the live strings it was magical.
Wish I could have been there. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome. :)
Exquisite and sublime.
An absolute genius. My favourite song.
Atmospherically.
Fabulous song Amazing artist Part of history
Today's monday and I love this ! thank you Prince and thank you Susannah :)
Esta mulher é genial. E canta..
Hey! Don't suppose you recorded Lord, the song before this one? Alloy dedicated it to Sarah as I used the song in a funeral for my baby boys and shared that with him.. I'd love to see it again if anyone has a recording! 🙏❤️✨ Thanks so much x
I'm sorry I didn't record that one! I hope it turns up on UA-cam for you. But what about contacting the band to ask if they could share a recording of it? They had so many people professionally recording this RAH show it must be there. Good luck and take care.
excellent description of them. they really need to be witnessed live. just saw them in Boston in the US, beyond phenomenal experience.
Thank you so much! And nice to hear from a US-based fan currently being blown away by YF. I have been interested in hearing from US-based fans and I'd love to compare the audiences there to those here. I'm so curious!
I'll always think of you whenever I smell cider. Could say this about so many of my mates when we were teenagers. Love this song.
I wonder what that third Suede album would have sounded like if Bernard stuck around.
Still amazing still gorgeous!!! Why are The Bangles not in the R&R Hall If Fame yet?
Great to see Ms Susanna Hoff still having a lot of fun in life! Lots of love from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Lovely! The original came on my playlist on a 3 hour bicycle ride yesterday just north of Chicago and it made my ride!
I love to hear that as a former Chicago resident myself. :)
well the bangles and bananarama were my favorite groups of the 80s nice to see they havent forgot to perform beautifully x
Damn ..thats what I call an intimate gig 😊..great video
Grande Douglas!
I was looking a while for a full band performance of this brilliant song! thanks for upload that!
I'm happy to hear that! You're very welcome.
One of the greatest guitarists of all time
Indeed.
Seeing her on the upcoming Filthy Underneath Tour - I'm now even more excited than before - she has a power!
I was at this gig!
Thank you so much !
Gorgeous ! Wish i could make it there... But no... Big thanks for recording this, and too bad there is not more...
Thank you for sharing these, Jen! 💙
You're very welcome. :)
She is incredible 🔥
So beautiful!
The "local vocal" was a great addition too....!
谢谢你！爱来自中国❤
Think about this.....She is 65 years old. HELLO?!?!? Susanna is still lightning in a bottle and absolutely drop-dead gorgeous after all these years. No digital filters, no Artificial Intelligence, no multi-million dollar professional studio.....just a guitar and a mic and she sounds amazing. They don't make women like Susanna anymore.
Amen smithing Wesson they don't make women like susanna hoffs anymore. Nobody is going to fill her shoes.
love love 💜💙
Thank you so much for recording this. Can't believe there is a recorded performance of a song from Co Aklan, and with band accompaniment. God bless the KK arts festival. Kills me I'll never again be in a room w Cathal Coughlan singing.
You are very welcome. And I am completely with you. I'm so grateful for my limited time with Cathal and indeed for moments like the charming Kilkenny Arts Festival but it is so painful to accept I'll never be in a room with this beautiful genius again.
🔥💫🖤💫🔥
FANTASTICA !!!!!!!!
Heard Princes recording of this song the other day and I'd have to say the Bangles version was way better and definitely meant for them. 😊
Which song kept him off the number one chart spot...?
