I was looking up some pictures on Flickr and thought to do a search on Beth Orton just to see if someone might have posted some pics from her recent appearance in Colorado.

No dice, but I did find these three:

This one is from someone's hotel room...but not what what you were hoping for (filthy minded bastards!). A little Googling showed that Mary Guibert is Jeff Buckley's mother, so this was probably around the time of a Jeff Buckley tribute show in 1999. The guy who posted the pic apparently works in the record biz. No telling what they were looking at or what Beth was eating off that plate.


This one is apparently by someone who has celebrities pose with a Mr T doll. Don't ask me why.

Finally, this one is from the Bamboozle fest in New Jersey in June of '04. Hot Dog Johnny's is local roadside hot dog shack in northern New Jersey.

Hehe, Beth sold out
Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun?

Here's a nice pic of our girl from Layke Anderson's website (appearing at that reading they did in London earlier this year). Not sure what he was going to get her to do to that banana... ;)

I didn't know that Beth ever played a Takamine guitar. Usually she plays a Martin or her old Levin guitar. Funny thing about Levin is it was bought out by Martin years ago because of their exceptional stockpile of quality wood.
If you look at the Montreaux Jazz Fest show, you'll notice that Beth and Ted are both playing Martins, and he's playing the expensive model. Don't know why...perhaps Beth liked the feel of the cheaper one. A crappy Martin is better than no Martin at all.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

Yes, when I've seen Beth play live, she was playing a Martin (the cheap version). Maybe she's treated herself and bought a new one ??? Hey Walrus, how long have you been playing the guitar??? and at what standard are you at ???

PS. like you say Rob, a cheap Martin, is better than no Martin. I treated myself to a Taylor guitar sometime ago now, and the sound is so much better than my previous guitar, however, the strings which are fitted to the Taylor as standard, are heavy gauge - so I'm thinking of fitting some lighter gauge strings to it....but hey, you can soon replace the strings, wish I could play along with Beth in my living room, with her on vocals - now that would be a dream come true.

It was recently posted but I wonder if it's an older photo from '02/'03-ish. All the pics I've seen of her the past year or two she has had longer hair
