More of wot I have seen…



We went down to Brighton to see a wonderfully be-bearded American Folk artist called William Fitzsimmons.

We went with our friends Paul and Lorraine and first had a bite to eat at the Gourmet Burger Kitchen where spectacular burgers are made in the chain of joints started by a couple of Kiwi’s. Naturally I had to have the Kiwiburger (who doesn’t want a fried egg on theirs?). The others had the Habanero, Smokin’ Joe and one of the day’s specials.

Komedia is next door and is a great intimate venue with three separate rooms. This time we were in the basement which suited the folksy sounding acts playing.

Denison Witmer played a fabulous one-man-and-his-guitar warm up for William Fitzsimmons who in turn was accompanied by his band. Fitzsimmons is a big man with huge beard and a bald head, his gruff deep speaking voice belies his soft and hypnotic singing voice.
