About this concert
The ultimate homecoming show!
"Maybe there's no one there at all, maybe there's no one there but Paul, living in Shawford after all these years." - Robyn Hitchcock, "Winchester".
Now living in Nashville, Tennessee, Robyn Hitchcock spent his formative years in Winchester ("standing in the Talbot in my flares") before becoming a worldwide star both in The Soft Boys and as a uniquely idiosyncratic solo artist. When he performed at the Railway in October, the tickets sold out weeks in advance, so he's returning next summer to a larger and even more appropriate venue. Early booking advised.

Robyn gets older, Robyn gets better! What a great original guitarist! Great place to listen to great music. RH is like listening to a Dali painting! Waiting for his new book, 1967. I give it 5 stars

Robyn Hitchcock Biography
Robyn Hitchcock is one of England's most enduring contemporary singer/songwriters and live performers. A surrealist poet, talented guitarist, cult artist and musician's musician, Hitchcock is among alternative rock's father figures and is the closest thing the genre has to a Bob Dylan (not coincidentally his biggest musical inspiration).
Since founding the art-rock band The Soft Boys in 1976, Robyn has recorded more than 20 albums as well as starred in ‘Storefront Hitchcock’ an in concert film recorded in New York and directed by Jonathan Demme.
Blending folk and psychedelia with a wry British nihilism, Robyn describes his songs as ‘paintings you can listen to’. His most recent album is self-titled and marks his 21st release as a solo artist. Out on April 21 2017, the album is produced by Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs). Hitchcock describes it as a "ecstatic work of negativity with nary a dreary groove."
It has received rave reviews from UNCUT, Rolling Stone, Paste, Tidal and more.
"A gifted melodist, Hitchcock nests engaging lyrics in some of the most bracing, rainbow-hued pop this side of Revolver. He wrests inspiration not from ordinary life but from extraordinary imaginings..." - Rolling Stone
"These 10 gems slither, rock, roll, glide and shapeshift, coalescing around Hitchcock’s typically anxious, strained but striking and immediately identifiable vocals." - American Songwriter
"Beloved of everyone from Led Zeppelin to REM, Hitchcock has only enhanced his status with this wonderful outing." - Hot Press
"Witty, moving and seriously catchy, Robyn Hitchcock is a glorious return for a man who wasn’t really gone in the first place." - Paste Magazine
