A wall separates two rooms. On the left is a hatch through which we see the stage area with Thomas Deakin, red trucker cap, and just beyond him, Bonnie Prince Billy performing. To the right is an open doorway to the same room. There we see their audience.

Seen from above, Thomas, red hat on the left playing guitar, leans in towards Will Oldham, white cap, facing Thomas, also playing guitar.

De Barra’s Folk Club is written on the wall behind them. Thomas seated on the left. Will Oldham, Bonnie Prince Billy, stands, now, in a tank top, without his cap, his arms and fingers lifted, lifting us in song.

A square photo. Top left De Barra’s Folk Club written on the wall. Lower right Will Oldham, Bonnie Prince Billy, no cap, seated at the mic, his left hand raised, fingers spread in gesture. The rest of the photo is in darkness. One of those nights where friends, old and new have gathered together under stormy skies.

It’s been a while since we last saw Thomas Deakin.

This was a nice way to catch up with him and his buddy in De Barra’s last night… 😉🤩
