Set list for Dry Dock solo show
September 12, 2026
I haven't looked out the Kensson scrapbook to confirm, but I believe this was my first solo show since 2002. I'm still on a bit of an adrenaline rush, so I'm not going to analyse beyond "carried on playing and singing for two hours, did not have to dodge vegetables, venue positive about prospect of having me back."
I did three sets.
Set 1: Roughly what you'd have heard in 2002
- You & Me Against The Rest Of The World
- By The Time I Get To Crail
- Tangled Up In Bob
- Sunrise on the Rhône
- 1984
- Like Today
- What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding
- Missing
- When I'm Gone
I billed the show as folk originals (mostly); Tangled Up In Bob is mostly original, but What's So Funny and When I'm Gone are straight-up covers.
Set 2: Recent bangers
- Connection
- Inside Track
- Hooks
- Alan Shepard's Blues
- Stupid and Young
- Attention All Shipping
- Lie Down
- Snapdragon Avenue
- Hot Damn
Set 3: Heroic Women
I did video the performance -- but my phone charge gave out midway through Morna so the big ending is lost to posterity. If that's my biggest negative about the gig, I'm pretty made up about how it went.
