In an evening full of charm and whimsy (not to mention beautiful tunes), possibly the funniest element was listening to the touts outside the venue doing their traditional "tickets, buy or sell" routine. But completely avoiding saying what they were buying or selling tickets for, presumably because they didn't know how to pronounce his name...

(It's soof-yan, by the way. Though the guy who brought the band on stage initially introduced him as "Sujfan Stevens".)

Rare London gig by the former vocalist with The Specials and Fun Boy Three. Okay, so he mostly did backing vocals back then, but he's still bloody good, helped by an incredibly tight backing band.
