Thanks for posting the review K, saves me the effort of writing one Despite having the remnants of a week long flu I battled into town. Great gig with a birdseye view directly above the stage from the gods. Some good banter with the crowd despite the language barrier - 'speak clearly, I can't understand you, I'm Australian'.

'speak clearly, I can't understand you, I'm Australian'.

that review reads like it was written by a professional journalist doesn't it. After every sentence you find yourself thinking - I see what he did there.

Another solid show. Cracking version of From Her to Eternity! Nick wandered into the audience for Higgs Boson Blues and invited a dozen punters on stage for Push the Sky Away. After Tupelo, someone shouted "You are the new Elvis." Nick replied, "I wish."

I'd been to the venue before, but only in the cheap seats. This time I was in the fifth row in a comfy seat with legroom. OAP heaven. Then the young whippersnappers rushed to the front and everyone had to stand up. Bastards. Susie Bick was across the aisle from me.
