Photo Hunt - Entertainment
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is entertainment. In the absence of new photos here are some concert photos of my favourite musician Robyn Hitchcock
This is Robyn performing Airscape, the nearest thing the not-wife and I have to an "our song"
And this is Madonna of the Wasps (it gets started proper at around 1 minute), The nearest thing I have to a repeatable nickname for the not-wife!
But she calls me Balloon Man.. Damn I need to lose weight!
music is the oldest form of entertainment, nice shots!

two were at a pub in Lonond that had a capacity of less than 100. He does MSF charity concerts at a pub calle dthe Three Kings in Clerkenwell, London. It holds around 100 people
Great post, Jams! It looks like you got some nice, close shots of your favorite musician (which is usually difficult to do when everyone is dancing and jostling for position near the front!).
I like this week's theme a lot. I'm seeing different form and glimpses of entertainment. Lol on Balloon Man. I need to trim down, too. Happy weekend!
