veggie lasagne: warm, with _two_ pieces of bread this week. whoo!

Guest celeb: Dave Koffee.

A pretty happy Robyn this week, obviously looking forward to his trip and video shoot. No surprises on the opening set, but excellent stuff all the same. Robyn very chatty between songs, and the b-girl, g-hotel and y&o sequence sounding especially good. The real treat was the appearance of the lovely Morris Windsor on harmonies and shaky things. And 12 string! Gave "Silver Wands" a stately mediaeval feel (as Robyn said it would), and freed Robyn to play some nice lead during "Higsons." Nice to hear Surfer Ghost again too, it's too good a song to be lost.

Tim turned up to join in the second encore (after the club announcer had said that Robyn had finally gone and people had started drifting away - they fooled us all!) - all sounding fab. A closing cry of "Bring back REM" from Robyn and they were off...
