What do you get someone for their 50th<\/sup> birthday? A fine dining experience? Socks? Cosmetic surgery? Helen hit on the idea of getting Enda a night at home to remember in the form of a house concert by Martin Stephenson<\/a>\u2026.and what a great night it was!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He did the tracks from his \u2018Gladsome Humour & Blue<\/a>\u2019 LP in order, with stories (so many stories) before, during and after each song in a kind of stream of consciousness\u2026.I had no idea that \u2018Slaughterman\u2019 was about a football critic from the \u2018Saint & Greavsie\u2019 show\u2026.& he talked us through the evolution of his guitar playing style and even the history of the guitar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was a break after \u2018side 1\u2019 with gorgeous fish pie and veggie lasagne before starting \u2018side 2\u2019 with the wonderful \u2018Wholly Humble Heart<\/a>\u2019. He did some great finger picking tunes at the end before giving the floor over to Saoirse who did a lovely piece of classical guitar. A great night for a great guy \u2013 nice one Nels xxx<\/p>\n
