Tom Robinson
1 November 2024
We are long-time fans of Tom Robinson (last reviewed here in January 2024) and last Friday we made a first visit to Club 85 in Hitchin to see the latest incarnation of the Tom Robinson Band playing songs from the albums ‘Power in the Darkness’ (1978) and ‘TRB Two’ (1979). As always Tom introduced in the support slot a young musician he has been championing on his BBC 6 Music radio show. Rob Green is a 19-year-old alt-soul/pop singer songwriter from Nottingham who writes lovely thoughtful songs and gave a very cheerful, confident performance. The Tom Robinson Band were in great form. You can see their encore performance of ‘War Baby’ featuring Tom, Lee Forsyth Griffiths and Rob Green at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzyR84nrPrI
