Dave "the" Machine and Lucky Strike Henry

Henry is playing at the Park Crescent on Tuesday. I get there at about half past eight. Alan and Murali are propping up the bar and they both punch me in the arm. Henry has the most growly 40-lucky-strikes-a-day Tom Waits (one day he will be free) voice. This is quite surprising.

Dave the Machine plays at the Fitzherberts on Wednesday. First on is a Hungarian Folk Band. They are cool, harmonies and hungarian singing. Then Dave plays his flute and makes electronic noises whilst this singer songwriter guy sings and writes songs. Flutes are cool.

Sorry, it's obvious I'm never going to write for the NME.
