Tom Robinson
13 May 2022
We really enjoyed Tom Robinson’s wonderful solo gig at the splendidly refurbished Drapers’ Hall in Coventry last year (reviewed here in November 2021). But last Friday it was even better to finally see his twice-postponed appearance at The Stables in Wavendon (our tickets having been carried forward twice from the originally planned date in 2020 because of lockdown). This was a concert with his full band - including long-time collaborators Adam Philips and Lee Forsyth Griffiths - and it was great to see them back together. Having followed Tom Robinson for almost 30 years, it always surprises me how many people in the audience say they have never seen him before (about a third of this sold-out crowd). It is great that he is still picking up new fans at this late stage of his career. And Tom was in good voice, showcasing updated verses for several of his classic songs to rage against the ‘beyond parody’ behaviour of current politicians.
