"I'm sure that if he lived in an earlier century, Springstien would have been a benevolent pirate. His weathered face and marinated voice both the results of strenuous social habits. To see him speak, you trust him: anyone who has lived that fearlessly must have something interesting to say. A natural storyteller, an uber-scouser in exile. We live in an age where the 'new' is relentlessly paraded before us, as if youth was a virtue regardless of talent. Here's a man who has lived a life and refined his skills. Energetic and precise on stage, his language as full flavoured as malt whiskey. An original gem waiting to be rediscovered; a man who'll still be here plying his trade when the new have given up the joke and gone home. Springstien will still be found, the backbone of every bill he appears on, cajoling his audiences with splendid sea-dog stories of comedic experience."
