Jesse Malin, The Old Cold Store (next to the Vat & Fiddle), Nottingham - 1st March 2020
Right up at the front of the 100 Club is the place to take in all the energy that Jesse's putting out. Great band and an excellent set - a mixture of old classics and lots from the great new album Sunset Kids. Room 13 was a big highlight. Also the usual Jesse rap with the crowd and total disregard for health and safety. The lead for Jesse's mic got caught in the stand and stage fan several times as he leapt on and off stage. All part of the fun!
