Eamon McLoughlin

@emmylouharrisofficial has been my absolute favourite singer for a long time, but when her final European tour was announced I stupidly held off buying tickets because of the price, then realised how much it meant to me to get to see her live after they sold out. I watched the Bristol Beacon website for months on the off chance a ticket magically appeared, and one did! She was wonderful, as were her band, and they played so many of my favourites (she'd have had to have playeda few more hours to fit all of them in). So glad (relieved?) I went!

A few photo and video memories of the unforgettable sold out show by Emmylou Harris last night at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham. She is on her farewell tour of the UK and Europe, so this was her bittersweet final visit to Birmingham and she gave us one for the ages. Thank you @emmylouharrisofficial and your amazing band for all the wonderful music over the years, we will miss you 🥹 Swipe left for video clips: - Bright Morning Stars - Easy From Now On - Red Dirt Girl - Boulder To Birmingham #emmylouharris #symphonyhallbirmingham @bmusic_ltd

Thank to @telegraph for such a glowing review. Birmingham ICC tonight! Next stop: Bristol! #emmylou #emmylouharris #reddirtboys #jimlauderdale #bubblesup ✌️🩵🎸

When the show was over, we went to the bar. Erik’s friend Rickard was going to talk music with the guys from Kiruna, Willy Clay band, but we wanted to head home. Outside Nalen, Erik said we should walk down toward Stureplan to get an Uber. I said I was hungry, so we started looking around for somewhere we could grab something simple. And then, right there on the sidewalk, Mr. and Mrs. Crowell and the violinist Mr Eamon McLoughlin 🎻were walking toward us. We were both surprised, and he (Mr. Crowell) said, “I recognize you from the show ❤️.” Erik wanted me to take a photo of them together. Then Rodney told his wife Claudia that she should take a photo of us together—and that I should stand in the middle—“ladies in the middle!” So I stood in the middle, and Claudia said I had a nice jacket. 😭💕 When we said goodbye and thanked them for the show, we mentioned that we’d be seeing Emmylou in August. Then we found out that his talented violinist would be playing then as well. By the way, he’s the first violinist at the Grand Ole Opry. Of course ❤️

What a privilege to be in the front row for music royalty @rodneyjcrowell and always a joy to follow @keziagillmusic on her journey!! Magical 🫶

Rodney Crowell - Kilkenny 2026

Finally got to see the brilliant @rodneyjcrowell perform live at @firestationsun with Catherine Marx on keyboard and @eamonfiddle on fiddle & mandolin. The brilliant @keziagillmusic opened the show joined Rodney on stage for a great duet.  A wonderful night of music and laughter. Was good to catch up with Kezia after the show and chat to Catherine too

The wonderful moment @keziagillmusic joined @rodneyjcrowell on stage for a duet @firestationsun last night ✨

Today we celebrate our freedom! It’s a privilege we should never take for granted. ​To us, freedom is in the little things. Like a morning walk or run in the peace and quiet of nature. But it’s also in the big moments, like seeing @rodneyjcrowell live last week. ​This legendary and inspiring songwriter, and Nashville’s finest musicians, @eamonfiddle 🎻 and Catherine Marx🎹, truly know how to reach your soul. Watching them visibly enjoy playing together was so special. We laughed and we were moved to tears.🥹 The cherry on top was getting to meet all three of them afterwards. A huge thank you to Eamon for making that happen! ♥️ ​Freedom is precious, and unfortunately, it still ain’t free. Today we celebrate. See you at the Sena stage in Assen at 3.00 PM! @bevrijdingsfestivaldrenthe 🤠🌸🌸🎸 P.S. Be back tomorrow for a new Campfire Session🔥 It's a very special one 💔 #countrymusic #singersongwriters #rodneycrowell #freedom

“Memorable”, “boníssim”, “màgic"… Aquests van ser alguns dels adjectius que es van poder escoltar ahir a la nit a la sortida del concert de @rodneyjcrowell El texà, molt ben secundat pel violinista Eamon McLoughlin @eamonfiddle i per la pianista #CatherineMarx, tots dos espectaculars, va firmar un concert molt especial durant el qual va repassar el seu extens catàleg alternant vells clàssics amb cançons més recents, va explicar algunes de les històries que s'amaguen darrere les seves cançons eternes, va compartir records del seu mentor i amic Guy Clark, a qui vam poder veure a Badalona l'any 2008, i va aturar el temps amb el seu fraseig, magnètic i càlid, una manera de cantar que travessa ànimes. Van sonar, a la primera part del show, meravelles com “Glasgow Girl”, “Earthbound”, “Open Season On My Heart” o “Still Learning How To Fly”, i ja en un tram final que quedarà gravat per a sempre a la memòria dels espectadors que omplien les butaques del Teatre Zorrilla, “Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight”, “Ain't Living Long Like This” i “Till I Gain Control Again”. Una sentida versió de “Pancho and Lefty” de Townes Van Zandt cantada amb el públic va posar punt i final al Blues & Ritmes 2026. L'any que ve, més! Gràcies pel vostre suport i la vostra fidelitat! Visca Badalona! I visca el Blues & Ritmes! 📸 Fotos de Sergi Fornols @comepicmeup #RodneyCrowell #Bluesiritmes2026
