The ten most successful solo projects
Former Libertine Carl Barat has decided to forge a career for himself as solo artist with a new stripped-down sound. Will it work out for him? Perhaps in hope rather than expectation, we take a look at some of the more successful musical spin-off projects.
Elvis Costello, Royal Festival Hall, London (Rated 4/ 5 )
"I've been wading through all this unbelievable junk/ And wondering if I should have given the world to the monkeys," he spits out with relish on "God's Comic" in this blistering solo set. It's about time we reclaimed our very own Elvis, and thanks to Richard Thompson's Meltdown we get a rare sighting (he now lives in New York with his wife, Diana Krall) of this British new-wave whiz.
- Wynton Marsalis & Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Hackney Empire, London (Rated 4/ 5 )
- Green Day, Wembley Stadium, London (Rated 4/ 5 )
