John Prine’s German Afternoons: Presented by All the Best
about
In this special show for Out to Lunch, All the Best will mark the 40th Anniversary of John Prine’s celebrated ‘German Afternoons’ album – a landmark record for Prine containing classics such as ‘Paradise’, ‘Sailin’ Around’ and ‘Speed of the Sound of Loneliness’.
All the Best are a band put together by a bunch of hardcore Prine fans featuring Paddy Nash, Junior Johnson, Sean Doone (No Oil Paintings) and Donal Scullion (The Unholy Gospel Band), with special guest vocalists and an amazing band behind them.
The band’s first performance took place at Atlantic Sessions in 2024 to a great response. The band capture the beauty of Prine – never exact copies of John’s versions but loving homage to songs they all cherish.
‘The audience reaction was truly remarkable but then again, so were the songs and players performing them so I don’t know why I’m surprised. A night of old favourites and devastating deep cuts that I just know old JP himself would happily raise a glass to in appreciation. I certainly did.’ – Ralph McLean
