We were in Merrickville for a concert, part of the Festival of Small Halls series. It's a brilliant idea. We went to see Harry Manx. The church, Merrickville United, has little tables for drinks and a bar. Seriously! My mother was a staunch churchgoer, choir member, choir director, etc.I asked JB what he thought my mother would have thought of this. (She loved her sherry!) He said, "She'd either be steadfast against it, or in charge of it!"
It was a great concert. Harry Manx is a hoot with his self-deprecating stories. He spent 12 years in India, and you can hear its influence in his music.
“Mysticssippi” blues man Harry Manx has been called an “essential link” between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition ...
