I saw him at Saltburn - first time I'd seen him - and he struck me as a genuinely nice guy who is sick to death of people asking him to do THAT song. Which is good because he has done so many others that are equally good, if not better. Ask him to do Gift of Years it's guaranteed not a dry eye in the house and it's far more evocotive that THAT song.

Technically - the sound (in a small, hot, packed hall) was wonderful, just him, his friend and two guitars. It's simple, not overworked and they both have lovely voices. Of course, that may be down to the sound guy who was, I have to admit, superb (and cute too) considering what he had to stage in so small an area, but as I was fairly near the front, I got first hand sound as well as amplified sound, and it was pretty darn good.

Go and see him, if only because, as we've been reminded recently with the deaths of so many great voices, he might not be this way again.
