Ell Kendall has been a great supporter of Daylight Music. He also writes some fantastic music. So I am always happy to support his concerts. Tonight, was potentially a challenge for me. I offered to photograph the event without knowing the line up. When I realised it was the orchestra supporting Douglas Dare, I was not expecting to enjoy the event. I have previously found Douglas vocals have not worked for me. However, what an amazing surprise. This was a special evening. Tonight, in the beautiful Stone Nest, I saw the beauty in his vocals. Ell’s orchestration combined with Douglas’s vocals to create a sublime evening of music.

I love when music surprises me. Tonight reminded me to always give artists a second chance. While they grow and change. I also grow and change. My knowledge and experience of music continues to expand and grow. Things I didn’t like a few years ago, I now like. After tonight’s concert. Douglas has a new fan.

A guy playing sitar as incidental music, it must be another Daylight Music. Stranger Stranger, who did little for me, the excellent Left With Pictures, and Douglas Dare where today’s eclectic mix
