farewell Ivor Cutler, Ali Farka Toure, and The Reverend Charlie Jackson - all in the same week.
I once went to see Ali Farka Toure at the Old Vic in Nottingham, on a double bill with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, with a girlfriend whose dad insisted she was home by 11.
I knew I was in for a disappointing evening when AFT came on stage a little after 10, giving me a mere 20 mins or so to enjoy his desert blues before having to turn tail for the suburbs.

in case it's not abundantly obvious, I should add that 17 year old girls tend not to be too interested in 50 year old guitar players from Timbuktu.
