SUMMARY:Alicia Keys
DESCRIPTION:Another big name for Abu Dhabi’s new open-air venue\, Saadiyat Nights. By all accounts the venue on Saadiyat’s Jacques Chirac Street is a great success: it’s quite big\, but manages a quite intimate feeling (and the seats are comfortable). But even for a star of Ms Keys’ stature the tickets seem a bit pricey\, and drinks aren’t exactly economical either … \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Les Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois: Concert for Peace
DESCRIPTION:The famous French a cappella boys’ choir – made up of boys between 9 and 15 years old\, and for some reason styled in English as The Little Singers of Paris – is coming to the Sorbonne for a free concert. We have no idea about specifics of the programme\, though it apparently features songs in French\, Arabic and English “to spread a message of tolerance”. And the choir’s broad repertoire does include Darius Milhaud’s ‘Cantata of Peace’ which he wrote for the Little Singers in 1937. (Milhaud\, at the time probably France’s premier composer\, called the school “a miracle of faith\, tenacity\, enthusiasm and talent”).

SUMMARY:James Blunt: The Who We Used To Be Tour
DESCRIPTION:The hip may find him unredeemably uncool\, and his voice is definitely a bit of an acquired taste\, but James Blunt’s songs are well-crafted\, articulate\, often accessibly personal\, and speak to a broad audience of wildly enthusiastic fans. It helps that he has a nice line in self-deprecation; famously he started a 2022 concert by saying this was a greatest hit (singular) evening\, and he was going to play You’re Beautiful about 22 times. \nHe’s touring his seventh studio album Who We Used To Be\, a decent collection of songs about love\, loss\, self-discovery and personal growth of – so the lyrical mix much as before – that blends elements of folk\, pop\, upbeat rock and even housey beats (as on the new album’s first single\, Beside You: a possibly relevant fact is that Blunt has a house on Ibiza). The album divided critics (“one of Blunt’s best albums to date” vs “completely tedious and unmemorable”) but Blunt always puts on a good show\, so we’re happy to recommend this one … \n  \n

SUMMARY:Simple Minds: Global Tour 2024
DESCRIPTION:This eight-month-long Simple Minds tour genuinely is global (they started in January in New Zealand: Dubai is a stop between Australasia and Europe) and they expect to play to over one million people worldwide\, showcase their eighteenth studio album Direction of the Heart along with some of their classic hits. The setlist for past shows on the tour has a dozen songs\, many of them seriously long\, climaxing (of course) with Don’t You (Forget About Me). \nThe nucleus of Simple Minds remains Jim Kerr (vocals) and Charlie Burchill (guitars and other instruments)\, who have been together since their short-lived late 70s punk incarnation as Johnny & The Self-Abusers. Now they tour with a full band\, including Ged Grimes (bass)\, Cherisse Osei (drums)\, Gordy Goudie (guitar and keyboards)\, Erik Ljunggren (keyboards)\, and Sarah Brown on backing vocals. \nFun fact: Simple Minds took their name from a David Bowie lyric – “He’s so simple-minded\, he can’t drive his module” from Jean Genie. \n  \n
