Tonight we’re seeing Whitley. Which is pretty exciting. Whitley has been one of my favourite singers since about four years ago when I saw him with Old Man River at Spectrum. It totally blew my mind, he’s amazing live, especially in a tiny intimate space doing it acoustic (of course, it helps he’s pretty darn good looking). Clearly, I thought, its been too long since our last encounter! But now he’s announced he could be giving up music FOREVER and moving overseas for a few years. As you can imagine, I am distraught! Especially when you find you’re onto a good thing, with even better cover art! You can imagine my delight when “The Submarine” came out a few years back featuring Beci Orpin’s artwork on the Album cover and inside sleeve. Sigh. Two of my favourite things which certainly belong together, just like Washington featuring on his latest album, surely too good to be true. Tonight I will attempt to console myself with some band merch featuring something pretty, as it might be a long wait for the next album. Kx
