Support act A.J.Teshin played a cool set of Kurt Weill songs. Although Weill is not really my cup of tea, A.J. did a good job although the performance lacked the emotion that may have sold it to a non-believer. Best song was 'Lonely House' which lyrically could have influenced Scott Walker's 'Montague Terrace in blue'... I would have liked to hear 'Alabama Song' but you can't always get what you want...
Jose played a selection of songs from his four cd's plus a few covers such as Brel's 'Amsterdam', Mary Hopkin's 'Those were the days' and bizarrely: Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire'... Best songs were 'Bar Fly' from Promis, 'Drinking Alone' and '29 Again' from Promis II, 'That Vibrant Air' from Promis III and 'I Promise' from 'Life is Grand'...
