Mark is also known as Namedrop and usually plays with Benoit. But Benoit couldn’t make it so he played alone. . Loved what he played and how he played it. It was a really patient, unrushed set. Gutted I didn’t stay until the end as that sounds a great finale. Thought he might have played Eden/Free at the end.

I couldn’t make it this afternoon. Just heading home after a flying visit to the Carpet Shop. Looks like he’s been sent off in style. A life well lived x

What’s David Byrne doing these days? I’d maybe go see him if he’s throwing in a few classics. Maybe it’s just this album? Have not heard

Be good to know what you thought. I liked the way they were all crammed together and they are still so powerful

Yes same, an intense experience
Spent some time thinking about how they were arranged / paired - the mundane with the more extreme
Great that you can still see things like this for free in London

I saw him on his last tour and it was a superb gig. Going to see him on Wednesday and will report back. Apparently quite a few Talking Heads tracks in the set. Go for it!

David Rodigan at the Jazz Cafe last night was a whole lot of fun. Great crowd and he really is the consummate showman.
I’ve got three tickets for next Sunday’s follow-up but I’ve got an early flight on Monday so can’t make it. Going to a good home if anyone fancies it

Does he still talk for 5 minutes about when he heard / 1st played / 2nd played each record
One festival it started to grind a bit
I was close to getting tickets for this, but I genuinely think I would need a whole week off work to recover.

John Carpenter did that too when we saw him at Primavera, although we actually enjoyed all the history
I think it’s the same with Rodigan. It’s part of his charm for me.
Got to get myself to Om at some point. Justin Strauss all night on Friday will be brilliant.
