The Prayer Boat had two beautiful and highly underrated albums out and now there is chance to see and hear singer Emmett Tinley play. He was scheduled for a free solo gig at the cafe of the Burgerweeshuis in Deventer. Later plans changed and he took his band with him.
It was early in the evening when I arrived and much to my surprise the band was already playing. It turned out they were doing a rehearse for the gig later that night. I let the tape rolling and enjoyed two beautiful relaxed songs.
Then we had to wait for another hour for the concert to start. I killed time by drinking coffee and waving to the webcam high in the corner of the pub, hoping the family at home could see me and wave back…
It didn’t took long before the pub was very crowded. Unfortunately there was no stagelight so the video-recording was terrible. And the students kept talking and shouting so the audio-recording was a mess too! What’s left is the 6 min. + rehearsal with some fuzzy images… Hope you will like it anyway!
