Arlo Guthrie packed out the 100 Club on Oxford St in London last year.

There were a bunch of kids in their early 20s who were totally rapt - actually rather embarassingly so, in the way that fans of 'legends' often wildly applaud their every note and laugh a little too much at every so-so joke.

It was an enjoyable gig, but frankly not nearly marvellous as the standing ovations and two encores would have suggested.

So while I can't speak for Paxton, I'd say there's still a big, enthusiastic and respectful audience for Guthrie's gigs in Europe at least.

London also played host to popular gigs by both Spider John Koerner and Rambling Jack Elliott.
