I was in attendance at last night's gig at the Twelve Bar Club in London. The first of four gigs Robyn will be playing each Friday in January. The club was voted the best live venue in London for 1995 or was it 1994? It is cozy to say the least. I would say it fits 75 folks max and there was well over 100 stuffed in last night. If anybody plans to attend any of the other gigs, my advice is to arrive when the doors open at 8. My wife and I could only see Robyn's shoulders on down because the balcony above cut off our view. It still sounded good in the end, however.

From reading the newsletter, Robyn has promised no repeats for the four Friday's and he seems to have put some thought into each of the sets. Someone shouted out for Trilobite and he said "I'm playing that one next week". Just joking or not, he seems to have planned out the sets at least a little in advance. He also said that we were free to leave him requests at the bar for upcoming weeks for songs "he knew or did not know" and he would have a look at them. The last Friday (26th) he said he would be opening for himself. As the newsletter promised, two sets for the price of one!

My apologies...Near the end of the set, there were some song titles I am pretty shaky on. I needed Jonathan Turner there to keep me straight!

ACOUSTIC SET: (Dressed in a plain white shirt w/black vest):

ELECTRIC SET:
Freeze (I agree w/Bayard from D.C. show, this sounded good)
Man with a Woman's Shadow (Is this the correct name? Woman's Shadow t-shirts were on sale in the foyer)

ENCORE: (Dressed in a blue/black shirt with big aquarium style fish)
First song acoustic, rest electric.
