A case of ‘And now for something completely different’. A showcase for Robbie with a full band, he impressed the audience when he played solo but, having a great trio of musicians behind him his music and songs took on an extra dimension.

The evening started with great energy and that carried on throughout with a few lulls in the energy created by the introspection and empathy of some of his thoughtful tales of love and loss. And what a lyricist he has become.


Those songs were ably supported by Dan, Thomas and Roberto who provided great support to Robbie and, as the man himself said, all had a wonderful time. As did we in the audience. Thanks, as always to Ron, Hilary and the volunteers.


One final word. Jim Reeves? He’ll have to go!

Great show last night. Another great addition to the TLR roster.

Wonderful guitar playing and a marvellous voice that is clearly going to develop into something even stronger.

They say to write about what you know, how much of what Robbie was singing about last night was personal to him, I wouldn’t know.

What was clear was the depth and maturity of his lyrics, some surprising lyrics amongst the songs that he performed last night. Thanks Ron and Hilary for another great night.
