Weekend in London

Jo and I spent last weekend in London. The principal reason for going was to see Graham Parker & the Rumour play at the Shepherd's Bush Empire.

Good venue - and a great turnout of GP aficionados. The support act was Glenn Tilbrook:

Entertaining as usual, he opened with Take Me I'm Yours - there's a video of it on my You Tube channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbMaChj4eXo&list=UUBDeleoM99bWx2-P6rMydgA

They included in their set the title track from their first album from 1976 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p-GTv-qk84&list=UUBDeleoM99bWx2-P6rMydgA
