#Gadgees at Cluny 2: Simone Felice
@folkastro
#Gadgees saw him last year at the same venue; with a fantastic band. This year he played an acoustic set solo. Yet this did not change the brilliance of the gig; it changed the dynamic only in the slightly dark and menacing feel of his engagement with the audience; who were in awe of his set.
He played all of his recent popular songs; with a few diversions ie reading a W. B. Yeats poem and a pre-election diatribe about Trump; the 90 minutes went over quickly as the audience were so entranced by this performance. Hopefully it's not another year until he comes back.

This #Gadgee cannot believe it's almost a year since we saw Simone Felice with his band at The Cluny2.
In front of a rapt audience of Geordie fans, Simone played a solo acoustic set of assured, understated excellence. My favourite song, 'New York Times' is, in my opinion, a masterclass in the art of songwriting, pulling together a series of vignettes from the eponymous newspaper to make a powerful statement about current American society. #Genius.
BTW , not content with being a successful singer songwriter, Simone Felice is a published poet & author. This #Gadgees review of his 1st novel, 'Black Jesus' :
