Robert Irish @ Wayward’s, Jan 15

“Robert Irish is over in town from the US to play us – for the first time – songs from his upcoming album. This ain’t no showcase though, this is a family thing, friends and spouses and buddies and all sorts. This is as intimate a gig, on every level, as I’ve seen. And when it’s soundtracked by songs this rich and deep, layered and dusty and baritone and brimming with quiet strength, it’s not just a pleasure, it’s a privilege to watch.”
