Robyn Hitchcock
There is nothing to quite match the elation
of feeling well again after a brief spell under
the weather. It's a glorious sensation,
enhanced still further by a new release from
one of my all-time musical heroes, Robyn
Hitchcock, with a tune right out of his top
drawer.
The first glimpse of 'Be Still' came
courtesy of an informal pub rehearsal video
that appeared online towards the end of 2012
and featured Terry Edwards, Green Gartside
from Scritti Politti and Bedders from
Madness amongst others. Here though, is the
finished article and the first taster of
'Love From London', Robyn's new album, due
on March 3rd, which also happens to be his
60th birthday.

Very good. As I've said before, I must explore his music more. He's become a bit of a national treasure.
