J J Cale at the Hammersmith Apollo

WHISPERING BOB HARRIS introduces him "very simply a legend", this grizzled geezer who's just spent the intermission onstage with his back to the audience impersonating a guitar roadie. He stops fiddling with his amp and turns to face the audience, who are as raucous as he is placid, looking like a lollystick with a worn-out Brillo pad on top. The legendary J.J. Cale.
