'Cause time moves in circles and can leave you anywhere'... Martha at the Jazz Cafe first night

...are the lingering words in my mind as well as 'there are no hats, gloves, scarves for the heart' from the final song of the night 'Don't forget', which Martha sung for her mum, saying that it is her mum's favourite song. I can see why, and I know that this is also one of my favourite Martha songs... The small venue was packed and there was definitely an expectant atmosphere. I know that I for one felt very lucky in one sense to be able to see Martha in concert again while her and her family are still here, because of her young baby Arcangelo. Martha was in excellent voice and as always committed and involved in every thing she sung and played. There was a mixture of songs- ones from each album, a new one and a special guest appearance from her father Loudon who sung a couple of songs solo and then they did one together. Martha joked that she would not be singing BMFA that night. Anyway, I am sure someone has a set list and more to report about the show... which I can hopefully either post here or give a link to- as well as videos and more photos of the night. The show included a bit of talk about the baby, naturally. I came home to lots of alerts about the Plastic Ono Band concert in NYC- so I will try and sift through some of those to see if there are any noteworthy ones.... So for now I will say a good night to all!
