Ageing bard tells it like it is

Al Goodwin
The Harrison Bar
London WC1
4/5

Al Goodwin (pictured), sings through his eyes. Shut for most of the set, they still dance, feel every emotion and his face tells you as much of his story, as his words.

His lyrics are neatly summed up in the title of his CD Birth Death and In Between. Personal, intense, honest and true — every song is straight from his Yorkshire heart.
