Found out in the afternoon that Rob had been given a last minute support slot at the Philharmonic. I had heard of Madeleine Peryoux but jazz isn't really my thing but still I thought it would be good for Rob.
Nightmare journey with unreliable sat nav, but luckily made it in time and when I got there Rob was waiting with a car parking pass for me. I made my way to merch desk and set up just in time to get inside to see the performance. Staff pointed me to the house seats. Rob was awesome again tonight.
After the gig bumped into Peter and Irina, who seem to have become regulars these days.
It was lovely to see the local crowd flock to the desk to talk to Rob and buy some albums.
Posing with some keyring bottle openers.
After the gig we tried to find the person in charge to pay our share of the merch commission but he was nowhere to be seen. We decided to go for a drink with the Dobsons at the Philharmonic Pub. All of Madeleine's band were there and the lady herself.
She was quite lovely and very down to earth. Rob gave her an album before she left and called her over for a picture. I tried to convince her to sit on Rob's but she said she might break it! I have a few pics with silly faces but this is a better one courtesy of Peter.
