Salvage from the Wreckage

The Gruffalo

Off to Bedford with O from next door to see Gruff Rhys.
An odd show.
Celebrating the 11th anniversary of American Interior. A concept album about an 18th Century Welsh man who journeyed through North America looking for the fabled tribe of white, Welsh-speaking Native Americans.
Gruff illustrated the show with a powerpoint slideshow. Lacking any photographic record of the original expedition, he used photos of a sad-faced miniature model of John Evans taken in the modern locations. So, an episode where John had been detained by 18th Century law enforcement was illustrated by a phot of the puppet being arrested by a 21st century cop.
Good music (G accompanying himself on an acoustic guitar) and a funny show!
