incomplete setlist

A short, solo, acoustic set.

Following A Girl Called Bob (talented Kiwi), a female poet whose name escapes me (great), a `country motherf**ker' called Rod Stern (talented, but more attitude than judgement), a band with lots of hair (good guitar, excellent vocals), and then another poet (different).

And then Robyn; joined mid-set, or so, by Paul Noble.

`Cynthia Mask', `I Something You', and a couple of covers, including The Band's `Up on Cripple Creek'. But there were two songs that stood above everything else.

The first of these was `Raymond Chandler Evening'. The second was a perfect reading of `My Wife And My Dead Wife'; this did the impossible: stopping conversation at the bar, even at the other end of the pub. Just perfect.

All in all, pure, generous entertainment: Robyn - and Paul, and Alice, and Deke - making sure that everyone had a wonderful time.
