The Rotterdam Incident
Last weekend I tuned into Eurovision. That’s what lockdown does to you. The Italian winners were Red Hot Chilli Peppers fronted by a young Michael Hutchence. The runner up was a delicate Edith Piaf flower re-potted. However two acts stood out. The Norwegian entry Tix performed his own song about the experience of having Tourettes and The Belgian group Hooverphonic who had been a major band in the early 2000s and the only act in my iTunes collection. We’ll ask why these acts didn’t get anywhere. We’ll also look at the career of Adrian Gurvitz – a musician who made the transition from rock guitarist to romantic songwriter to Yacht rock and then to worldwide acclaim as a songwriter-producer. We’ll play some excellent electronica – and introduce you to two superb young UK female acts who are future Mercury Award winners along with a young UK male musician called Hider who is unsigned but has 50,000 plays a month on Spotify. Let’s throw open your doors of reception.
