The publicity for his present solo concerts is based on recollections of a rocking night at the Grughalle Essen in 1980, my own decision to visit the Harmonie on Monday was the memory of some great albums made by the man in the late 1970’s, and most of the audience were of an age that suggested this probably wasn’t their first Graham Parker concert, but also that the last was a long time ago. Carrying the past on your back is a heavy burden, Chobhams biggest music hero seemed unconcerned about the load.
