A very different show this week just one artist in a 20 minute
feature.
Foy Vance made a memorable
appearance at the Arts Centre in Norwich in the spring and wowed a
sell-out crowd with his passionate singing and his alternating
lyrical and percussive guitar style.
I had the good fortune to be there and to talk with Foy, between
sound-check and show-time, about his new album
Hope which is released in Ireland this
week.
I hope you enjoy the variation of format this week – it gives an
insight into the backstage life that is lived by rock and roll
legends the world over! Yeah right!
