Living proof that you can’t keep a good man down, the former sex dwarf now transcends trends and continues to embrace an esoteric outlook that sees him stand alone as a theatrical presence while still oozing pop star panache. Following last year’s ‘Tyburn Tree’ collaboration with John Harle, his latest release is an introspective affair that features the usual Almond trademarks of sex and high drama. The chance to hear ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye’ live is worth the ticket price alone but you’ll be rewarded with so much more.
