More than one kind of love

Joan Armatrading’s Last Major World Tour came to Oxford this evening and this inadequate (forbidden) photo is a placeholder for my nostalgia. I last saw her among a quarter of a million people in 1978 and was transfixed. This evening I was three rows from the front and was transfixed. She is funny, engaging, wry, intimate… and whatever she plays – blues, rock, reggae, 12-string acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano – it is mistressful, and with a sort of generous, mellow amusement.

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. Every second.

More than one kind of love
