The last
time I saw King Creosote (+Jon Hopkins) perform was last May in the tiny library on Iona. It was a memorable “gig” – for the general hilarity, if not
the precise musical accomplishment (they’d been drinking triple G+Ts in the
Argyll Hotel all afternoon!). I went to see/hear him again last night at
Colston Hall and he was almost legless again – this time, he walked on stage on
crutches (he’d broken his ankle)!
Anyway,
last night’s concert was absolutely excellent. I just love his voice and his (often)
melancholic and lyrical song-writing… and he’s also very funny.A full house and a great evening.
PS: he wasn’t “legless” at the Iona concert – just “very merry”… but, when I chatted to him last night, he admitted they’d got into a “bit of trouble” (with the hotel?) as a result!
PPS: last night he was drinking water…
