Robin Trower still plays with expression - and gusto when appropriate. I never know how he does it but he makes the guitar talk like a human voice. Doing great at 79. Evidently enjoying himself on stage. Tight back-up from band and great vocals similar to Jimmy Dewar's sound, with a touch of Stereophonics thrown in. Wish he played more in the UK. Due to Covid I waited nearly 5 years for this gig!!! Enjoyed support from Connolly Hayes - tasty guitar work - shame they only got 30 minutes though.

At last a chance to see the maestro at work and he didn't disappoint. My fist time seeing Robin live. It feels like I've stumbled across a new act even though I've somehow managed to miss him over the years. Music a pleasure to listen too . My kind of music, brilliant night, I came out at the end buzzing.
