   Hi Guys

It has been a while since I have been on the forum and it is 

great to see so much sharing of information and lively exchange.

I had the joy of being at Madeleine's gig in Birmingham and have just 

read this great article in the Guardian.  

Ian Gittins writes:  "Listening to Madeleine Peyroux glide through Tom 

Waits' ebullient (Looking For) the Heart of Saturday Night at Birmingham's 

Symphony Hall, it occurs to me that I just might be watching the purest 

interpretive jazz-blues singer alive today."

He says it all.  I couldn't agree more!!

It is available on line too.  Here is the link enjoy reading it.

I have just booked my tickets for the Cheltenham Jazz Festival and can't 

believe I get the chance to see Madeleine perform again within weeks of 

last seeing her.  I think we have been a little spoilt here in the UK.

Have a great day - Jules

	Great article Jules, and thanks for sharing it. I envy you getting to see Madeleine again so soon. I would have no hesitation in going to see her again if I had the chance. Enjoy Cheltenham and do please report back.
