Legendary songwriter on UK tour

Since January this year he has played music with Peter Buck, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Grant Lee Phillips, John Paul Jones, Martin & Eliza Carthy, Krystle Warren, KT Tunstall, Howe Gelb, Green Gartside, Norman Blake and Nick Lowe among others.

Jonathan Demme filmed him in concert in 2006 in a shop window in New York, released as 'Storefront Hitchcock'. In 2006 he was the subject of a Sundance channel/BBC4 documentary 'Sex, Death, Food & Insects' by John Edginton.

His new LP 'Love From London' is due on March 5th, on YepRoc records. A 'retrospective' show at London's Village Underground on February 28th celebrates his 60th birthday and kicks off a short UK tour.

Robyn describes his songs as 'paintings you can listen to'.
