Indimenticabile - Patrick Watson and the Wooden Arms - Tabernacle - London 05/07/10 
February 2007, Paris. At home, Christelle, I have a nice promo-cd that Jerome has just given me, "Ma Fleur" by Cinematic Orchestra. The CD player marks: Track 4 "Music Box". We do not say anything, we just look to see that we're just listening to that voice for the first time, will become an integral part of our lives, our dreams, in addition to our venerable Jeff Buckley and Bertrand Cantat. Track # 5 has not yet started on the PC that spring to seek more information. "Patrick Watson, you say?" - "Yes Watson, who says?" - "Here is 'written' Patrick Watson, Canadian singer compared to Rufus Wainwright, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, two CDs available assets import "-" Well it's all there is Jeff Buckley. How to import? Too bad he is not surprised arriving in Europe. " How I was wrong that night. A few months later, Patrick Watson and his team won the prestigious Canadian Polaris downgrading the most popular Arcade Fire and was released last September, also in Europe, "Close to Paradise", released in Canada a year earlier. Disk with a high intensity atmosphere taken by Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Yann Tiersen. A variety of instruments ranging from guitar, violin, accordion, piano, megaphone, samples, drums, banjo, balloons and forks several (!) and arrangements that flirt with Debussy and Satie, you know you should not disturb the sacred cows but: listen for yourself. Although the group is establishing itself slowly in Europe, which I can not see them in concert last year at the Union Chapel. An amazing concert, amazing. For this, I have not hesitated to get tickets to the concert 5Luglio at the Tabernacle in Notting Hill. A charming place as the Union Chapel. The Tabernacle is a former evangelical church in 1887, with the curved facade, built in red brick, not far from Portobello Road. A beautiful Romanesque style building, now used as a cultural center. A room with little or no say gremitissima least three hundred people. And oddly ' was an event little noticed. On stage, Patrick Watson and his amazing group of musicians: the Wooden Arms. The lights are dim and it seems to help almost a religious rite Masonic for a few initiates. Tonight, to accompany a female singer and also a string quartet. Patrick is a great talker, funny, jokes with the band, and 'always ready to entertain the crowd with amusing anecdotes throughout the concert of "Big Bird in a Cage Small", "Wooden Arms," \u200b\u200b"To Build A Home". And in what seems a moment, we are transported to the end of the first set. For the second set, the usual surprise. I format the concert stage and audience, it becomes in a musical road. Patrick put on the armor of his tree of five loudspeakers in the shoulder, and followed by his acoustic guitar and percussion musicians advances in the audience, as did the musicians in the streets in the past. The mini parade of musicians will stop in the middle of the room, creating a circle around them. The group is caught by surprise when the violins meet in the mezzanine, even hidden in the midst of their present. The audience smiles, and all seem to share the same spirit that you can 'create over a campfire. Patrick leaves his tree microphones, boards a couple of steps and sang "Man Under the Sea" with the refrain, followed by the entire audience, "Just me, the fish and the Sea ", first softly and then very strong. At the end of the concert, people seem very happy and smiling and all begin to talk to each other. Patrick slips out of the dressing room and stops to take pictures and joking with fans. Simon Angell, guitarist, brings advice to the patrons of the banquet goods and Robbie Kuster, the imaginative percussionist, relaxed ride with a couple of friends in the garden. I do not see Mishka Kein, bassist, will be 'the next time. Thus, 'while the sun sets over London I leave this nice brotherhood. While still spinning in my head "Just Our family gather round to round and scream to noise and leave the ground I was so happy there under, under the sea" a sense of joy and celebration invades my senses for a few precious hours.
