Amelia Curran at Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre, Naul, Oct 29 2010

Amelia Curran is a Canadian singer-songwriter, who writes rather complex enigmatic songs. Won lots of awards over the last 10 years, and 4 in the last week.

She played at this tiny little venue October 29th, mainly songs from her last 2 albums and a great new song "as yet un-named", to audience of I guess 30 people at most, just amazing to me this.

Just a lady, a guitar and a mike, all very far removed from the 60 people and 6 huge trucks required for a Leonard Cohen concert, a big influence.

St Patrick's Day parade, 2010, Skerries, Co Dublin

Excellent, only thing lacking perhaps was a musical soundtrack and it didn't keep moving along but great show.
