Ed Harcourt Live in Utrecht

Today I was reminded by my friend that the new hosting year is coming up and realized that I haven’t posted anything in my blog for ages. Oops!

So let me tell you about a gig I went to recently. This March, British singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt performed an acoustic show at the Leeuwenbergh church in Utrecht. It was part of a series of acoustic themed concerts organized by Dutch actress Carice van Houten. It’s funny, she’s been acting in Hollywood movies together with celebrities such as Tom Cruise, but she kindly helped us to find our seats.

During that week my friend from the UK was staying with me. We have basically zero in common when it comes to music, but surprisingly we both like him so we went together. The concert was really awesome, Ed played a mix of new songs from his Lustre album and also older ones. After the gig my friend was cheeky enough to go and ask Ed Harcourt for an autograph, so I got my ticket signed as well.

Here’s a song from one of his older albums, hadn’t heard it until the concert but it has turned into a favourite:
