Well, we went to see Seasick Steve on Friday 3rd at Southampton Guildhall. I had front row seats in the balcony, but we hung around in the standing area and didn't actually make it up stairs. He was brilliant. His slide guitar is great and his blues is exceptional. Particularly as he claims he was a hobo, jumping the trains to get from one side of the US to the other. He is the flavour of the month in the music business and did a gig at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday, so I think we're in good company. He was fab, although I think his gig was blighted by "Friday nighters" as there were loads of people there just chatting all the way through the set. He didn't take it sitting down though and stood up with his baseball bat and said "Shut the fuck up!" I think they took the hint because it quietened down and we all listened respectfully to his hobo stories. It was good to be out with Patsy too.
