Top night at Rough Trade. First up reformed 80s indie band The Room whose Dave and Becky I last saw in Benny Profane in 1990. New stuff great. Then Estonians Shelton San who clearly love Sabbath. Finally @BlueOrchids4 with no oldies but still fab.

Lowland and highland
they roared lustily
This was our affair ‘til you put your finger in it.

Masterful storytelling, sublime groove
