I do things. I like things. I dislike things. I forget. This is my way of not forgetting the things that I do, like and don't like.

John Hegley - Beyond Our Kennel

Whittington Community Centre, London, 09/06/11

Increasingly looking like a tall Woody Allen, John Hegley is an immensely talented man. His funny little rhymes, silly songs and droll banter are effortlessly delivered; the audience, often invited to accompany him, held in his palm from the get-go. Backed by a friend with brilliant home-made percussion, Hegley mostly plays it for laughs but occasionally delivers a moving tribute (to his departed father, for example), silencing the crowd, before having us in stitches again with a rap about guillemots.
