Hawksley Workman at St Pancras Old Church

Hawksley Workman 

St Pancras Old Church, 12 September 2019

When The Borderline sadly closed its doors for the last time last month it left Hawksley Workman without his usual venue, one that he has been regularly playing for the past 20 years. I've seen him play there many times and he had even earned a photo on their wall of fame, something Workman laments tonight, telling us how he impressed friends in the past with the fact that his picture was on display in the middle of Soho. Swapping The Borderline for the much smaller and extremely atmospheric St Pancras Old Church though certainly isn't a bad thing though if this show is anything to go by.

Farewell Daniel Johnston

There have been very few times where I have been so moved in concert that I've actually cried but it happened in 2007 seeing Daniel Johnston sing his beautiful song Some Things Last A Long Time at the Union Chapel. So sad to hear about his passing today. He had a troubled life but his music was able to transport you to a different place and touch your soul.

Rest in peace Daniel, you were one of a kind.
