King Creosote

Saw the wondrous King Creosote last night as part of the MENCAP Little Noise Sessions. Venue was St John-at-Hackney. Crowd were respectfully quiet and needed to be as the acoustics in the place seem to throw sound from the periphery back into the audience meaning voices at the bars can seem louder than they probably are.

Jon Hopkins added some accordion and piano complements. It's at least the third time I've seen King Creosote this year and I could see him more. His familiarity with his songs is such that they can be changed at each gig and often bleed into each other live. He is a true talent.
