Foy Vance deserves so much more recognition. Maybe with Ed performing this song to his large scale audience, Foy will finally get the credit he's due. I'm a huge Foy and Ed fan, would be interesting to see a collaboration.
Seen edd once supported by foy since then seen foy on several occasions .edd doesn't come close to a foy vance live performance not on the same planet.his voice is weak almost childlike foy has a full on raunchy gravely voice.
That still doesn't mean he CAN SING LOL OR HAS A GOOD VOICE LOL. His lyrics are good if he writes them and his recorded voice is ok but his live performances are questionable lol .on the selling out stadiums that only goes to show there is no accounting for taste or talent on behalf of people that persistently pay to see a live mediocre artist.
Yes unfortunately Foy still doesn't have the recognition he deserves. I seen Foy for the second time 2 weeks ago in a really intimate gig in Killarney and although it was amazing to still be able to see him in such an intimate setting he really should have a far bigger audience. I can not shout enough about him and his voice, Bonnie played alongside him and even vocally they are a match made, such an amazing experience.
Foy just gives me this incredible feeling of serenity and happiness, like for once I'm whole and not just a hole. (Pun;) ) and I have been a huge fan of Ed for a long time, to be able to have Ed cover my favorite song by Foy is incredible.
he's just done that again at the mercury lounge in NY...the 1st venue he played there 18mths ago....he did that smack in the middle of 2 sold out MSG shows, so i think he'll always try to do the intimate thing, as much as he can.
Why are some of the people right infront of him not singing? It would be an honor to be asked to sing by ginger jesus himself and as Ed himself would say, and has said many times before: "If you're too cool to sing along you are definitely at the wrong gig." We love you, Ed!
It makes me sad to know that the venues he plays have changed so much and performances like these may be over for him (for us). I absolutely want the best for him and am so, SO happy he's breaking through here in the US, but seeing him in a small venue is so... I dunno. Just the best - that's all. Everyone should get to experience this. What a truly good, truly talented soul. Worth the trip everytime, anywhere.
