Last night proved a rare spark of inspiration for me. Seeing The Revival Tour tear up the stage and wow the devoted crowd in Pompey gave me an exciting glimpse into the side of music I've been missing recently - a side of good alternative music, adoration by fans with something fresh, thoughtful, and direct about it. Particular highlights for me were the first act Dave Hause, and the simply fantastic Chuck Ragan - who had me hammering out tracks on an acoustic guitar and harmonica rack all afternoon.
Having not known what to expect of the night, and knowing little of the acts, I seem to have have lucked out. The music and the vibe was great, and the realisation that the camaraderie of folk music is still alive and kicking has touched me to the core - and it more than made up for wading through the puddle of piss in the gents and the shit night's sleep I had in the living room of a student house.
