Met this shady character in Dean Street, Soho yesterday. He was playing the first of two nights in the Pizza Express Jazz Club – which is actually more like a jazz club and less like a pizza joint. Great sound, intimate venue. Tickets left for this evening’s performance – well worth checking out.
Ashley and his band played a selection from his haunting new album Cellophane as well as some old faves from the olden days. The song I am singing this morning is a track he wrote with trumpeter Guy Barker which has the most beautful Cole Porter-ish melody.

Didn’t he sing on that funky ‘Turn on, tune in, and cop out’ choon a few years back?
First the Mighty Boosh, now this fellow? You’re becoming quite the candid cameraman.
