Music review: Arrest This Moment: Celebrating the Life of Michael Marra

WHEN was the last time you saw an ironing board at a concert, front of stage? Such incongruities made perfect sense in the frequently surreal but essentially practical and hugely compassionate world of Michael Marra. The late and much lamented Dundee singer-songwriter used an ironing board to support his keyboard when not playing piano, and in this eminently amiable tribute, based on the fine biography by James Robertson from which it took its title, this particular board was a way-marker into Marra’s world, bearing photographs of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, who materialises improbably in one of Marra’s best loved songs, and the legendary midfielder Gianni Rivera, whom the fitba’ daft Marra met as a child.
