Great gig, my first time seeing him solo but better than any bootlegs I've heard. Miles Apart and Cornish Town blew me away, he's a master of his craft. I too would have happily heard him talk about the songs in more detail but he was obviously a bit shy. Look forward to more from both of the Head brothers this year.

On a side note Joanne Head (Mick & John's sister) is singing at the Blundell Street Supper Club on the 10th of May, should be a good night.

[nutley]

Great to see everyone. Thanks to PJ for having us. Sorry about playing that track at the wrong speed. Still shamefaced.

[Jeff]

I thought it was a great night. The Brink is a really special place and everybody involved should be really proud.

Great to see everybody.

Fantastic to see John with a rapt audience. First time I'd heard Savage Brew and was really blown away.

Like others said I really enjoyed the little story about 1967 before he played it, wouldn't have minded listening to him chat a bit more.

Oh & Nick, I'm always playing records at the wrong speed... It's not as bad a crime as cueing up your next record with the volume up.

Five things I learned last night:

1. Loaded Man was recorded by accident.
2. The Brink's alcohol free supper club vibe is perfect to appreciate a John Head solo gig.
3. Savage Brew is a fantastic song.
4. The last 2 minutes of Cornish Town were worth the entrance fee alone.
5. Seven cans of Red Bull wasn't enough to keep me from almost falling asleep in my armchair towards the end of Loaded Man.

Oh, and the world's smallest setlist was written on the back of a post-it note.

Great write up there Gra, wish I could have been there.

[Johnny99]

great night. great place. great to see everyone. that air conditioning machine needs looking at too it feeds back in the monitors

[graeme]

it probably needs an I.C of some description or just a bog standard inline surpressor from PRS...although john knows his stuff and said it was non fan related and down to the monitor,an on the spot reporter said john has been overheard to say"i`ve been in this business a long time,and its not the fan"
