Jonny Kearney and Lucy Farrell - The Slaughtered Lamb, 17 January 2012
Now… don’t you go and think that I’m so keen on my 2012 resolutions that I’ve already gone out there and done loads. A friend of mine mentioned this gig to me way before 1 January!
This was my second venture to The Slaughtered Lamb and I’m beginning to think that it doesn’t matter when you go or what’s on, you’ll have a great time. Although having said that, the event was, once again, promoted by Pull Up The Roots… so may be that’s the winning combination.
I had made a point of listening to a few tracks before getting the tickets… but that was a long time ago and I couldn’t remember much about it. By the time Jonny and Lucy took to the stage, I didn’t really know what to expect.
Endearing. Funny. Sweet and melancholic. Lullabies with a slight dark undertone. Amiable. Cruel.
Great evening. The wine was decent and reasonably priced. The food tasty. The Slaughtered Lamb is a kind of busy but comfy and friendly pub. You don’t quite feel at home there… but almost.
