Anyone into this english musician (how does one describe someone like Robyn Hitchcock anyway)?
His February tours of the UK are a must - I'm there every year!

I've seen him a few times, and was able to meet him once. Witty guy. :D

Witty he is. His banter between songs and the song introductions are always a treat!

Not only Robyn, but also the Venus 3 are great people in person!

Saw him years ago at the (then) Princess Charlotte (now just "The Charlotte" I believe) in Leicester. Just him and his acoustic and bags of stage presence. One of the most enjoyable gigs I've ever been to.
He even inspired the guitarist in my first band to change his name from "Robin" to "Robyn".
