Joanne Shaw Taylor to play for the Queen!! (Page 2 of 2)

She can surely play, pity Annie Lennox kept wailing over the top, could have been about 50 watts louder also.

Too bad her boyfriend wasn't there to tweak the sound for her. He was gushing with pride over her performance on FB.

On the news yesterday , they said the Queen was wearing earplugs !

Jo used a supplied Peavey amp. I believe the LP is her own but will check. Through the whole gig guitars we quiet in the mix. I suspect Jo's pedal board was not working as I saw her foot move but no lift to her sound.
That said Jo still came through just fine (had the sound surround on as it was broadcast in dolby). It was a monster occasion (does it get any bigger). Let's not take he he off by analosong it too much. It's a PR dream for any artist. Jo out of anyone I know deserved it most.
Another to consider is the logistics of the gig, it was a huge undertaking. Overall it went very well.

Yeah, had to say at 1st, I wondered about "the wings" - thought a hen-party had stumbled on stage, but we are talking Annie Lennox here. Good job Joanne wasn't backing Grace Jones..... Also thought the sound was a bit "down", but given the logistics of the event, and then, as Martin says, she was using a supplied Peavey amp. I'm no muso, but always thought Peavey's sounded "tinny".

All that said, what I heard of Joanne was great - another of her "pressure cooker" solos. Really good of Annie Lennox to at least move over and let Joanne have centre stage for her spot. Really pleased for Joanne.

Where's a video link?

Your Queen with earplugs.  Hmm.  What's so unusual about that? I thought it was a more commoner standard attire for her?!

Super Great Sweet Deal for Joanne Shaw Taylor! Not sure of the distilled value, but it certainly has to have very good immediate impacts, plus much recurring value to be harvested in the near future!   Love that woman.  Fabulous publicity and face it, sound for the entire event wasn't up to snuff (at least what I could bear to watch and listen, but understand I did NOT, have not heard or seen the Joanne Shaw Taylor performance yet), as if if really matters in a party atmosphere like that.  Good times is what counts the most, and the time-stamped memory will brew up a sea foam of excited, curious, remembering, seeking & finding fans.   That kind of exposure co$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ts, usually significant soul dollars too, big time.  But to gain it as a windfall like this was-HUGE, and as Martin said, no one more deserving of it than Joanne!!!!!!!
