Reviews

Dublin report and set list...

Robyn appeared solo, no Tim on banana. The HQ is pretty clinical but very comfortable and an all seated gig, mainly around small tables so no problem where to put the Guinness. At a rough estimate it probably holds 400-500 people, sadly there were only approx. 70 to see Robyn. Acoustics good, a bit light on the bass end so the harmonics of the Guitar didn't come over so well.

More than this

Black open necked collar less shirt over green baggy trousers with a large Hibiscus flower print or possibly Anemone (my wife informs me), the kind that Marlene Deitrich might have lounged around in. Robyn in good humour and a very good gig despite the sparse audience.

And the Guinness was excellent.

Roll on Dingwalls and Winchester.
