Ulli Freer and Lol Coxhill, Saturday, 7 March 2009

Ulli and and Lol duet in the sole highpoint of an otherwise bleak affair at the South London Gallery - Lol having to actually leave the stage at one point as unannounced and with with so many people chattering over his playing he eventually despaired. The evening started badly with people, ticketed or not, herded and kept waiting at the entrance. Let us compare and contrast with an evening out at The Klinker, where all seated and comfy, Hugh eventually bumbles to your table to ask a mere £3,00 from us unwaged, all the while making us crack-up at some delightful nonsense or other and where we'll see world class musicians like Lol, fine poets, such as Sean Bonney and men pulling rubber gloves over their heads to boot;long may cabbage-head reign.
