Poster for gig Tonight at Cafe Oto Orcutt Shelley Miller 9:15 Earthball 8:20

Cafe Oto for Orcutt Shelley Miller & Earthball #chopsgigs

The Burning Hell & Carsie Blanton at The Lexington. Played most of their joint album in set 1, then returned for a set of alternating songs from each artist. Righteous, hopeful, uplifting & funny.

Brown Horse at The Hope & Ruin. Loads of great tunes in front of a packed & appreciative crowd. Went with my eldest which was nice too.

Katherine Priddy at Papillon. A lovely set highlighting tunes from her brilliant recent album with some older efforts interspersed

I’ve been to three great gigs this week. The Burning Hell with Carsie Blanton in London, Brown Horse in Brighton & Katherine Priddy in Southampton. Struggled to keep up with my usual post gig output though for various reasons #chopsgigs #theburninghell #brownhorse #katherinepriddy

They’re ace 😊

Ah! I don’t think I was still listening by the time that came out 😊
