    Just got back, BLOODY BRILLIANT.

    Played for 2 hours and there isn't an entrance fee. . . .

    He's back down there tomorrow night at 8pm and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

    Glenn was at the match on Saturday and was as depressed as us all. . . .

    The Anchor has some really *funny* locals in there.

    Barack Obama could walk in and they wouldn't bat an eyelid!

    I've decided to take my eldest for his 1st gig. *that* good.

    Thanks so much for the heads up on this one.
    I:m a lifelong fan and my Japanese wife has loved him for the 8 years since we met.
    Hope to catch him in Japan in Jan.
    Told me he is playing the US embassy tomorrow - I advised him to clear his cavities!

    Anyhoo
    Many thanks indeed

    Glad people went, this type of thing doesn't happen much anymore.

    Seeing someone as talented as that playing a small pub gratis is a real treat, especially when he gives it 200%.

    I had to scoot off at the interval as my eldest had to get up for school. . . . that makes me feel v old!

    But I did get to hear 'Labelled with Love' and 'Up the Junction' so went home happy.

    Very approachable as you say, and has the Charlton mentality, touch of humility and self deprecating sense of humour.

    And a barrelload more talent than whats currently on offer at SE7. . . .

    Thanks very much for telling us about this.
    I went on Monday, and he was excellent. As you say, it's a rare treat to see someone so good in a small venue. And for free!
    Great atmosphere in the pub. Just a pity about the lack of good beer.

    Dont get much better than that down your local on a Monday night.

    Years ago he'd play on the grass outside The Princess of Wales in Blackheath from time to time.

    These days he'd probably get moved on or alternatively you probably are not allowed to sit on the grass outside with a pint!

    I walked up from the station with him yesterday (he lives in Lansdowne Lane). I'll try and get down on Monday as he's a class act.
