"Bonnie Prince Billy was the inspiration for this thread. Spectacularly dull. "
In my experience he's a moody bugger. Catch him on a bad day and you wish you'd stayed at home - I've been to a couple of really dull BPB gigs. But catch him on a good day and it makes you forget about the bad gigs - until you posted that I'd forgotten I'd seen any bad performances from him. Rock City in Nottingham a few years back and some church in Cov more recently both made the hair on my neck stand up. A Royal Festival Hall gig a couple of years ago made me wish I'd brought a book to read.
I have some sympathy with him. My job involves a lot of public speaking. Usually I'm good at it, but I have the odd off day....
Fingers crossed for when I see him again this spring....
