Leon Rosselson, Komedia Studio Bar, May 7, 11 and 15
2:49pm Thursday 8th May 2008
For nearly 50 years and on 30-plus albums, Leon Rosselson's beautifully-crafted songs have challenged us to both think and feel about politics. While their characters are often victims of the crass stupidity of governments or the greedy self-interest of capitalism, they are rarely underdogs but, more often than not, rebels.
This solo show, a tour of this history interspersed with fascinating anecdotes, is tantamount to a "greatest hits" compilation but still leaves the audience missing favourites.
Rosselson's laconic voice and deceptively simple guitar technique are as good as ever but the songs are the real focus of the evening and the intimate setting of Komedia's Studio Bar with its crystal-clear PA showcases them perfectly.
He repeats this show on Saturday at 5pm and returns next Wednesday with a set of new songs. This is a rare opportunity to see a living legend up close and personal. Don't miss it.
