…Fibbers is a crap venue. However, it hosted the sublime Martin Simpson and we even managed to get a seated view of the stage. Simpson is just brilliant — he plays the guitar in so many different styles, he does songs in so many different styles too. I hadn’t realised before that he’d lived in New Orleans for several years — accounts for the number of blues numbers he does. He started the set with Chris Wood’s “Come down Jehovah” — made up in a few minutes for the wrong time on the tickets (half an hour before even the doors opened) and the lacklustre support act.
Had a nice pint of York Brewery’s “Guzzler” in the Last Drop while we waited for Fibber’s doors to open.
