"Souvenir" was recorded live at Crazy Coq's Cabaret, in Zedel's Brasserie, Soho, January 2?th, 2026, as part of a series of different gigs commemorating Robb's 70th year on the planet. It's a collection of Robb's English Chanson material, with songs from 1995 ("The Night Cafe") to 2026 ("Full Moon Over Aubervilliers", written on New Year;s Day). Robb is aided & abetted by the superb musicianship of pianist Jenny Carr, bassist John Forrester, drummer Arvin Johnson, & a very appreciative full house audience. (Not going to be available as a fucking digital download). “An English original”, (Robin Denselow, The Guardian) “A national treasure” (Mike Harding) “One of this country’s most important songwriters (no contest)” (fRoots) “In my view one of the best songwriters this country has produced in many a year… the appellation National Treasure is often over-used, but in Robb’s case it is entirely appropriate” (St Edith’s Folk) “One of Britain’s finest songwriters, a genuine folk legend” (Twickfolk)
