Far better to see him live! He has a very dry wit and the verbal intros to his songs, usually said totally dead-pan, have the audience in stitches!
His trademark is the ironing board he carries around to balance his keyboard on, and he also plays guitar. He did a great double act with Scots poet Liz Lochhead, called "In Flagrant delicht" which we saw in Orkney last year.
