Foy Vance

So a great friend of mine introduced me to the man that is Foy about a month or so ago...and well - he was right about one thing. You can't not go to a Foy Vance gig. To not go would be very terrible indeed. And yes - he would be right!

It was awesome. I really was looking forward to the gig and just experiencing Foys music live. I love the few songs that I have heard so far - and i LOVE live music! So it was a very good chance to see Foy.
It was an intimate gig which I really loved.
In the Slaughtered Lamb - which i think is quite a good name for a pub, we went downstairs, and luckily were one of the very first people to enter - meaning we (my sister and I) managed to get seats - of which, there were not many!

So... a place for Foy to perform, a few sofas, chairs, a bar and standing area - and that was about it.
And it was great - Foy is such a talented artist and the songs just really capture you, make you smile and just at that moment I did feel like i just loved life - yes, songs can have that impact on you!
Met 2 guys from Newcastle in NI which was cool. Started the conversation with - so...how do you know about Foy Vance then? (in a great Northern Irish accent! hehe I should have had a practice with mine...but I didnt ...lol)
How did I come to know about Foy - a good friend of mine Phil - from NI introduced me to his music and thats how! So yes. Turned out that both the guys were at Queens Uni - although they were on placement for the year in London. So that was cool!

The songs that Foy did - were great. He is a great guy and very funny too!
And it was nice to have a good sing song at the end.
I Still Havnet Found What Im Looking For - which...is very true...
Followed by the great song that is "I wanna be like you" from the Jungle Book.
It was quite surreal infact - because during the song - Foy's normal singing voice - turned to that of impersonating the actual guy that sung the song. I dont know who it was, but oh my....it was like hearing the voice, the actual voice - but seeing Foy. That was quite surreal but very very cool!

So that was my experience of the Vance that is Foy! Great stuff. Really enjoyed it.
And readers....if there is one thing you must do - it is to go and see Foy - you will really enjoy it!!!!
