A long week, but a good one. Though I'm not in a rush to repeat it. The Havenots - entirely new to me, Liam's voice has the plaintive mournfulness of Chris' early stuff, but Soph's harmonies sweeten it up a little bit. That's a lot of sound for two voices and an acoustic guitar. Chris Mills - it's some measure of how much time I spend watching live music to get to the show of someone who lives in Chicago, and whom I haven't seen live in just over three years, and still get recognised and personally greeted by the artist in question. In the trio set-up, everything's a little bit more rocky and despite the low numbers everyone has a great time. This is where it's at, people and songs, not cgi dragons and fireworks.
