Saw him at Bed'rth yesterday; off-the wall, wacky, amazingly good. No doubt pandered to the audience's expectations in doing only funny stuff (I wish I'd heard him do Two Tall Trees, I heard someone else do that song recently and was very moved - I'll insist he does it at Herga).

His Folk Festival parody of VP's "YMCA", in leather gear and all, was a side-splitter, but requires extra gear incl caraoke soundtrack, so no doubt he won't be doing it in small venues.

In my eyes he easily outshone Les Barker (himself equally funny, but by now also very predictable), with whom he shared the "last session of the night".

Great value; not many like him around; not many of him to the pound/euro/dollar. If you are within a 100 mile radius of London give yourself a treat and come to Herga on the 9th Dec.
