The Last Waltz Revisited Focus: Olympia

Do you remember the first time you saw The Last Waltz? What were your impressions? I remember watching The Last Waltz as a kid and I was absolutely enchanted, fell in love with Levon Helm.

The Last Waltz is considered one of the best music films ever made - can anything hold a candle to it? The Last Waltz is pretty special, Scorsese helps it transcend traditional music documentaries. It's really a beautiful film.

What made you choose the particular songs you're performing on the night? I actually taught myself to play guitar watching George Benson on YouTube and experimenting with Joni Mitchell tunings, so it's been a privilege to revisit that while playing Mitchell's Coyote.

Will you sing your songs true to the original or put your own spin on things? Somewhere in between. The songs will naturally take their own colour with the fellow artists/musicians you work with, however, I'll be approaching the work with a lot of respect.

Come on, own up - who are you jealous of on the night because they'll be singing a song you really wanted to sing? I think I did pretty well!
