A very lucky ticket, this one. A chance look on TicketWeb at the Barfly listings, revealed Brendan Benson playing in an amazingly small venue. This has happened before, and Jack White joined Brendan on stage that time - even without that, seeing him in such a small venue is a special occasion.
As is often the way at the Barfly, it was possible to have a chat with Brendan in the bar before the gig, during the support act, and even until about 5 minutes before he went on stage.
When he did eventually get on stage, it was a similar set to the previous week at the Wireless Festival - many of the previous singles, and some hidden gems from his new album. I had not previously thought much of the new album, but having heard much of it twice within a week, I became converted.
