Very fine show by Ana Moura at Söder theatre this evening. A girl who puts the foxy into fado! She was wearing an extraordinary glittery evening gown which would have looked more at home at the Oscars Gala than in a humble fado dive.
The Portuguese guitar player, Custódio Castelo, was a quite remarkable virtuoso too playing some licks that Jimmy Page would not have been ashamed of.
I was pretty disappointed by the merch table. Just one CD on sale and no T shirts, stickers or band merchandise. However Ms Moura herself turned up to meet and greet. She told me that she had looked forward to exploring Stockholm, but with temperatures of minus 10 she hadn't dared to leave the hotel for fear of damaging her vocal chords.
The one surprise in her set was a fado version of No Expectations. She's worked with Mick and Keef and clearly likes to be snapped with celebrities. So it would have been very mean of me to disappoint her!
