Amazing Songs & Other Delights #64 – The Grandeur of Ghosts edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ Rádio Yé Yé, Monday 22nd
The Grandeur of Ghosts is the name of a poem by Sigfried Sassoon, one of World War One (WWI) poets. As WWI continue, Siegfried start to see it as conflict prolonged by those in power who had no regard for everyone else, soldiers or civilians. A reality that has been repeated before and since.My country, Portugal, was a dictatorship from 1928 to April 25 1974. This year 50 years of democracy are celebrated. During the dictatorship Portugal was engaged in a Colonial war from 1961 to 1974. Many young men, my dad included were sent to it. Many men, my dad included, would leave the war and go to exile, only being allowed to return a few years after the end of the dictatorship.The songs and poems on this programme are from various countries, in different languages, addressing different wars or connected to the coup d’etat that ended Estado Novo, the Portuguese dictatorship.E Depois do Adeus that had won Festival da Canção in 1974 had no censurable lyrics and was the first signal for the troops to know it was ok to star move towards Lisboa and depose the regimen. It was played at 22:25 hours on April 24 on Emissores Associados de Lisboa. Grândola Vila Morena, the second signal, greenlighting the go ahead was played at 00:20 hours on Rádio Renascença. Red carnations are the symbol of 25 de Abril commonly called A Revolução dos Cravos (The Carnations Revolution).

The Grandeur of Ghosts by Siegfried Sassoon
When I have heard small talk about great men
I light my two candles; climb to bed; then
Consider what was said; and put aside
What Such-a-one remarked, and Someone-else replied.
They have spoken lightly of my deathless friends,
(Lamps for my gloom, hands guiding where I stumble,)
Quoting, for shallow conversational ends,
What Shelley shrilled, what Blake once wildly muttered…
How can they use such names and be not humble ?
I have sat silent; angry at what they uttered.
The dead bequeathed them life; the dead have said
What these can only memorise and mumble.

Suky Waterhouse – My Fun
Hi and Happy Sunday with My Fun by Suki Waterhouse.
Hohen Ford | Patrick Watson, Hard Club, Porto, 15.04.2024.
words: Marcos Leal (freely translated by Raquel Pinheiro); photos Marcos Leal
On a Monday evening the line of people to Hard Club was visible before opening time. It took some time for British singer-songwriter Hohnen Ford, the opening act to be on stage. Quickly, with a smiley face, starting to play the piano and singing beautifully. Of note a cover of Radiohead’s No Surprises and the live debut of a new song, Honest Mistake. Going by the delight many were listening to her on the front rows, she gathered new fans.
Patrick Watson turn, playing Lost With You under mild, intimate light, that progressed towards the other musicians, surprisingly encorporating the lyrics of Radiohead’s CreepIt was a concert of great complicity and intimacy that captivated the audience. As much on a scenic as well as musical level it was a concert of great beauty and sensibility with songs that tools to intimate, but also mundane places. Between sings there were stories about those songs in themselves, and some joyous moments. Such as in Lisboa Mermaid in Lisbon was sung by Gisela João (on record the voice belongs to Teresa Salgueiro), displaying good stage chemistry. In a kind of encore Hohnen Ford returned, and once more enchanted the audience singing an acoustic song along Patrick Watson.
The concert ending was surprising. Patrick Watson came down to the middle of the audience with a megaphone accompanied by his bassist/guitarist carrying on his shoulders some sort of lights structure, both slowly playing and singing towards the room exit.

Sereias | Sleaford Mods, Casa da Música, 13.04.2024.
words: Paulo Carmona (freely translated by Raquel Pinheiro); photos: Daniela Tendim
Sereias opened the evening with their frantic, vocally agressive rock. Abundantly shouted in despair, among foul language, demands and political and social criticism. They’re very solid and original instrumentalists in the way they mix styles and impose tempos. But always very together. An interesting band, no doubt.
I could say punk bastards are back or that the good old fashioned rebels would have returned in na electro punk rap and spoken word version, but I will not do it, even because I just did it. I’ll center myself in what is worthy about British duo Sleaford Mods. Obviously punk’s stigma is present on the fast intense vocalizations of the sarcastic speech, at times comical, and electronic samples minimalism everyone. But, in reality, do Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn Bing us or intend to put across?
To me, it seems they have a lot to say and to uncover not only Great Britain concerning, but regarding the world at large in its hypocrisy and aggressive capitalist economy. Sleaford Mods music is to be danced to, felt, grooved. It is also to be reflected upon and internalised. Although the communication channel is minimalist electronic music, their message is anything but minimalistic. In line with social and political criticism “in your face” bands like The Clash, Public Enemy, Rage Against, this duo shots towards their chosen targets with genuine haughtiness.
The concert at Casa da Música justified all that. Jason’s voice on his East Midlands Accent among psychedelic strobe lights, vociferações that resembled seagulls overing above any coastal town, his balancing water bottles on his head artist posture like a cocky rooster trying to moonwalk and footloose, tracks like TCR, BHS, and the cover of Pet Shop Boys’ West End Girls keep coming out entertaining the hordes attendees and Sleaford Mods fans.Oh Captain! My Captain! They follow us everywhere and I go west.
