Ray LaMontagne
I don't see a thread here about this guy.

I went to his gig in Dublin on Monday night, re-scheduled from March 12th, from an extremely intimate venue to a less-so, but still pretty tiny, venue.

Reading the various Dublin event guides talking publicising the gig, I gather he's pretty well known in the US. Over here, not at all, I gather.

I saw him on Jools Holland ages ago when I tuned in to see Bloc Party, and he was much, much more impressive. I downloaded a few songs, then invested, wisely as it turned out, in his debut album, Trouble.

Just your basic, common or garden singer/songwriter. Acoustic style, with a bit of understated string backing. Nothing grandiose, but good. However, his voice is like honey mixed in with some gravel, and with probably a few bees floating around in there too, wriggling their legs.

The album track list is:

1. Trouble
2. Shelter
3. Hold You In My Arms
4. Narrow Escape
5. Burn
6. Forever My Friend
7. Hannah
8. How Come
9. Jolene
10. All The Wild Horses

From Paul Berne's autobiography:

Damien Gates tried to use me as a way back into football. That dirty English cunt knew his career was finished and he tried to drag me down with him, attempting to keep me up by reminising about the old times. I could see beneath his lies however, right to the point where I just wanted to smack that bastard.

'I knew I hadn't played well that day, I knew the team hadn't performed to his capabilities but by golly, his head shake made me want to destroy his face'
