Having been booked to support US singer songwriter RJ Chesney I was all prepared, harmonicas and guitar in hand to blast out a few of my songs that over the years have become favourites amongst my little loyal band of mates. I had also decided to throw in a  new song for good measure. The end of 2023 had been a difficult time with serious family illness, albeit thankfully with a happy ending, so I was well up for a gig. So imagine my delight when my dear friends Keiron Marshall and Lars Hammersland announced that they&#8217;d love to join me. &#8216;Over the moon&#8217; hardly does my feelings or the moment justice. The gig was captured by Setmixer, who work closely with the Sound Lounge, and subsequently I mixed and mastered the tracks. The resulting &#8216;live album&#8217; is available now. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/dickphilpot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/420479067_1786138308573593_861708411088073909_n-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-601\" style=\"width:542px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dickphilpot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/420479067_1786138308573593_861708411088073909_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dickphilpot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/420479067_1786138308573593_861708411088073909_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dickphilpot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/420479067_1786138308573593_861708411088073909_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dickphilpot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/420479067_1786138308573593_861708411088073909_n-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dickphilpot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/420479067_1786138308573593_861708411088073909_n-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Lars Hammersland<\/strong> plays Piano and Hammond Organ &#8211; sometimes at the same time! <strong>Keiron Marshall<\/strong> plays lead guitar and adds backing vocals. I&#8217;m in there on lead vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica. The result is magic. Spontaneous, joyous, melancholy and mad. The tracks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pacific Coast Highway<\/strong> on which Lars improvises Organ accompaniment akin to Morgan Fisher and Mott The Hoople.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Arlington<\/strong> the second number is where Keiron leaves the mixing desk and joins us on the stage, adding lead guitar and backing vocals to one the first songs I ever wrote almost 25 years ago.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Strength of A Woman<\/strong> my salute to Hannah White.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mercy Mercy My<\/strong> took on a life of its own and has since been featured by Setmixer &#8220;awesome live recording&#8221;. It truly is awesome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>So long to Baghdad<\/strong>. Keiron added a bit of slide on this one &#8211; a sort of desert whale song &#8211; hard to imagine I agree but tremendous to hear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reflections<\/strong> is the new song. A moment of reflective calm amongst all the end of year trauma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Demon<\/strong> Inside is performed in all its melodramatic glory with piano and guitar dueling between Keiron and Lars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What I need is your love<\/strong>. We almost went jazzy on this one towards the end. We could have played all evening but alas It wasn&#8217;t my gig! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking forward to the next time. Its available all over the place including a few cd&#8217;s from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Dick Philpot Live at the Sound Lounge 28 January 2024\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3zOXZTm6y5oZsduUD3EHaQ?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dick Philpot Live at the Sound Lounge 28 January 2024\" width=\"1099\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_maPaMOUU83W7SjODBvxndAllDH9X_6f-A\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Dick Philpot Live at the Sound Lounge 28 January 2024\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/dick-philpot-live-at-the-sound-lounge-28-january-2024\/1735053637#?secret=lYuhtFFByw\" data-secret=\"lYuhtFFByw\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once in a while a gig comes along that exceeds all expectations and for me my appearance @ The Sound Lounge on 28 January 2024 was just that.
