Pleasently surprised he's decided to come to Leicester, could be good, haven't heard much of his stuff though

I saw in September and he was very drunk. Cool though.

Also 1 Mississippi though it is hard to find.

I love Brendan Benson's last album. Seeing him at Reading was amazing, so many people in the tent knew all the words!
