The Amazing Mr Smith

Mr Smith
Hard to know what to expect when the guest turns up looking a little like ‘Doc’ out of Back To The Future, hefting a huge holdall full of props, a tiny guitar and an electronic box of tricks and then proceeds to tickle every rib in sight with two sets of hilarious songs and great banter. It’ll be a long time before anyone forgets his Buddy Holly impersonation (which features a xylophone attached to his neck on a coat hanger, played with a little mallet stuck to the side of his glasses) or his five part harmonies on ‘At The Hop’ - which he changes to ‘At the shop’ or ‘duelling banjos’ (a single fretboard with a banjo at each end) or a rousing River Dance, complete with plastic bottle bodhran and castanets tied to his feet. We’ll also remember the charm and fine musicianship. And the condom bagpipes. Another great night.
