On Friday we were at Esquires - a small live music venue in Bedford - to see the Tom Robinson Band. We've seen Tom Robinson so many times that we don't just know all the songs, we know all the stories he tells about them and have to restrain ourselves from spoiling the punchlines. But we still love seeing him perform and Tom and the band (including excellent new drummer Siân Monaghan) were on top form last weekend. It always surprises us how many people cheer when he asks if there is anyone in the crowd who hasn't seen him before. It's wonderful to see him continuing to grow his fanbase at the age of 75. And each time we see him I am reminded what a good songwriter Tom Robinson is, and what an extensive back catalogue of songs he has to draw on.
