The two moments for me, when he played Live it Up after I asked him and the venue was silent, and the whole crowd singing to Oxygen and Hard Hand to Hold. Was beautiful, and without the band. So I have to agree. Saw him last night in Aberdeen.

It took the live show for me to realise how much I like the album, if you know what I mean. Yeah, for me too.

Seeing him at Norwich recently, the highlights were definitely the solo tracks. Elvis was a very pleasant surprise indeed! Agreed.

I'd have swapped an internal organ and several minor relatives to see that gig. The Borderline was terrific, but his determined attack on a bottle of Jack Daniels made me a little worried for his future. He is easily capable of becoming a legend, I reckon, but whether or not he does is another question. A full band just seemed to drown out his guitar and give his personality somewhere to hide. His band were all good as well, so it's no criticism of them, just his music really didn't suit the extra embellishment. You jammy bastard.

I've seen Willy Mason a few times, but the best was in the Rough Trade shop one hot afternoon when he just stood in the corner with his acoustic guitar, unamplfied and played songs and told stories. It was wonderful. Seeing him since has never been the same. You’re so right.
