Robyn Hitchcock, KT Tunstall, Graham Coxon and Amy MacDonald

A maritime evening with Robyn Hitchcock with guests KT Tunstall, Graham Coxon and Katherine Williams at the Queen Elizabeth Hall last Saturday, and again this is a set for Flickr, I haven’t had time to update the LP galleries, although hmm I’m getting pretty used to simply posting on Flickr. I do wish they didn’t reduce the size and over sharpen whatever with feed them with though but hey it’s pretty convenient after all. But I’m digressing here, yes a maritime evening with songs about the sea, whales, icebergs and boat trips. A very civilised gig after the Rolo Tomassi mayhem, no bruises after the show, hehe.
