Here's to happy endings


I mentioned recently a little showcase gig I was playing last week in town. In what was probably my last performance for a little while I thought I'd mark the occasion by posting a couple of snaps taken on the night by local toggy (and poet) Andy Sutton. The whole evening was filmed so when that becomes available I'll probably put that up too, together with some of Andy's other photos of the other acts on the bill. Anyway, the evening was a resounding success and, hopefully, I'll be doing another one as soon as I can...

  1. Looking very much the part there John - and like the new addition to your chin, it has something of a beat poet vibe! Great to hear it went so well (not that I would have expected any different) yes, please do post or direct us to the film when you can.

    1. Ah, yes - the whiskers. Or the 'new addition to my chin' as C put it! Not sure how long they'll stay; just a bit of fun, really.

    1. Finer with? Or finer without?

    2. I think I would need to see them in 3D to judge properly. But for moody black and white photo of a troubadour in a brick-lined basement venue purposes, definitely with. Maybe add a dark roll neck jumper for that Left Bank vibe.

    3. I can do dark roll neck. Would you like me to adopt a French accent as well? I can write some matching chansons too while I'm about it.

  4. In those photos you look like my mother's friend Charlie Webster.

    1. A reference that resonates with us all

    2. I'm probably laying myself wide open here, but I think I need to see a photograph of this Charlie Webster character...

  5. I still have fond memories of that mini-gig in Edinburgh so I'm sure this night would have been special.

    As for the whiskers, yes, as everyone has said, very beat poet. Other than the black polo neck you would need some cigarette smoke but fortunately that malarkey has been stamped out at communal settings.

    1. Would be nice to go back to that bar in Edinburgh and play with them again.
