at the Melkweg Amsterdam we went (me and my daughter) to a concert of Australian singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd (known from Follow the Sun). Tickets we had ordered for Christmas. The motorcycle parked at the Leidseplein, a quick drink in the Marnixstraat and plugged in the queue. Beautiful location in the middle of the hall, where we could stand slightly higher on a step. Xavier is multi-instrumentalist (singing, Weissenborn slide guitar, bass, dobro, Aztec drums, didgerido) and his lyrics are often socially critical. He stands up for the rights of Aboriginals and expressing concern about the nature. He was assisted by the musical drummer Bobby Alu and Ant Aggs at the keys. A good, friendly and enthusiastic concert culminating in the last song: Spirit Bird.
