Bollocks, would have loved that, got a gig myself that day though. Any of you lot familiar with the work of David R Edwards of Datblygu, whom Gruff Rhys cites as his inspiration?
3 classic albums especially 'Libertino'

I've got stacks of SFA albums but don't know much of Gruff Rhys' solo stuff. Any tips from you lot as to where to start?

"Candylion"(?) is the only album that i'd noticed in the music press (was in Uncut's top albums of the year when it came out, 2007?) so i was thinking of starting with that one?

A good a place as any I would say, there is some wicked stuff on there (though I've loved almost everything he's done since I first heard Fuzzy Logic all those years ago).

I'm only aware of Candylion and the forthcoming Hotel Shampoo. There is of course The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness which is a collaboration...but it's an aquired taste. I'm still trying to aquire it.

I presume he will throw in a few SFA tracks on his solo tour? Maybe a bit of Neon Neon?

But yes, same here. I have loved them ever since I first heard the single God, Show me Magic. I saw them at ULU touring that first album and I've seen them on most tours since.

I'm liking his new long player. Sensations in the Dark is a great track. As is Vitamin K.
