"They played songs by Hitchcock, songs by Swift, songs they wrote together and songs by artists they admire. Hitchcock’s offbeat musings on the material, famous Piscean musicians and music in general were great fun and kept the lolling crowd alert between the pair’s lilting harmonies and striking folk, twang, psychedelia and sadcore combinations that shouldn’t work but somehow do." So said "Adelaide Now" in March this year when this unique and enchanting musical pairing played the WOMAD festival there.

Robyn's Island roots are firmly entrenched. His Dad grew up here in the 30's and 40's and most of his boyhood summers were spent on West Wights golden beaches and leafy lanes, places he's referenced and written about throughout his career, and his most recent album "The Man Upstairs" was drawn together and rehearsed on the Island last summer when he was living in an attic flat overlooking Freshwater Bay.
