Barbara and Amy have never been to Edinburgh before and Iain’s brother lives there so it seemed rude to turn down the chance to play a show at The Forest Cafe.

Probably my favourite place in Edinburgh, The Forest has some of the best company and food north of the border. We will be performing as a four piece as part of ‘Golden Hour’, their monthly evening of music and spoken word.

Barbara Bartz and Robin Grey by the village noticeboard in Kelvedon

On friday I had the best gig of my life, hands down. Nice to know after all these years and all these venues there are still gems to be discovered.

The venue is called The Institute and is in a old village in Essex called Kelvedon. The website can be found here – http://www.liveattheinstitute.co.uk/

Barbara and I were supporting Dan Raza, who incidentally got his first gig at the venue when I had to pull out due to illness last summer. He rocked their world so much they invited him back to headline with me as support.

Thanks to Matt Hill AKA quiet loner for the black and white photo below.
