King Charles





I went to see Mumford and Sons play at Gateshead the other week (they were GREAT - and note-perfect even live!), but my real surprise was how much I enjoyed one of the support acts - this chap*: King Charles.
 

Ignore the silly hair (okay, so that's not possible) - he does catchy contemporary folk-pop with some clever lyrics that don't always scan.

He had me at "Beware romantic gestures: they're investments in your vanity."
I have a severe case of Writer's Envy now.
I bought his CD.

But this one's just silly:





*He most definitely is a Chap - he  makes James Blunt look working class. (And he, ahem, went to my old university.)

    I love the legs in the stripy tights!

    You should let him know you blogged about him, I'm sure all his friends will be jealous.
