[DID NOT ATTEND: March 29, 2025] Beth Gibbons / Bill Ryder-Jones
I love Portishead, they’ve always been a favorite band of mine even if they are rather unprolific. A lot of that is Beth Gibbons’ voice. But I’m guessing more has to do with the music of Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley.
When this tour was announced I almost immediately grabbed a ticket. And then I heard Beth’s solo album and I was kind of bored by it. Her voice is still glorious but I wasn’t excited by the music. And while it would be amazing to see such an icon…not if I don’t enjoy what they’re doing.
Bill Ryder-Jones is a songwriter. I listened to a few minutes of something and found it really slow. It sounds like maybe he’s a diverse musician, but I wasn’t interested in finding out more.
