GRAEME CONNORS: Up Close   

Released by Universal. Out now to buy.  

If there is was any justice in the world then Graeme Connors would be much more widely known than he is, a highly gifted singer-songwriter with a definite knack for telling wonderful stories, his first DVD, Up Close is  out now from Universal.

Containing 22 of his best loved songs and recorded live in a nicely intimate setting, but with Dolby 5:1 surround sound well to the fore though we get the best seat in the house.  Accompanied by Tim Wedde on piano, accordion, mandolin and vocals, and James Gillard on bass, guitar and vocals Graeme takes us through a whole raft of songs from all across his long career, highlights include I’m Gonna Talk You Off Your Feet Tonight and the father to son confessional I Notice These Things.

Connors keeps things low key with shortish introductions to the stripped down songs and the release is all the better for it.  Very good indeed.

No Extras.
