JuJu of Little Fish + Tinlin @ the Drawing Room
Richard, who owns and runs the Drawing Room, saw Little Fish for the first time at the same gig as me. He was also taken with Reverse E who were also playing that night.
He has organised tonight to showcase his nominations for the Indy Awards (you have voted haven't you). His case/resturant is rather old and only has small rooms. In the summer he puts on bands outside. Tonight he just has a small corner, so there's no room for Reverse E, and only room for JuJu from Little Fish to do an acoustic set. He also has Tinlin who he has nominated. They too played that night at the Enterprise last May. Richard had gone to see them.
It is the most intimate of settings and a very appreciative audience. JuJu includes a couple of new songs, at least one with only a working title. She is such a performer, that even in this confined space and just an acoustic guitar she mesmirises rthe audience. It is almost a religious experience. And for a change from all the pictures of JuJu jumping, here is a picture of the audience in adoration.
Afterwards Tinlin perform. I had seen them at least once before, but I think I didn't see them properly. At close quarters they are a good act. I don't think their songs are as deep and significant as JuJus (half way through her set She apologised that all her songs seemed to be about death, as she introduced 'Hope I die before I get Old' . Tinlin had a song called Shed, which was about a shed.
Tinlin consist of 2 brothers. One looks like he lives in Hoxton - pointed shoes, skinny jeans, the other who I guessed was the elder, looks more Oxford. Something for everyone.
The evening went very well and I am grateful to Richard for being kind enough to invite me.
