For OAW #7, tenor-toned, Dixie strumming songster, Robbie Cavanagh swings by Manchester’s Northern Quarter with a couple’a pretty ditties in his heart and a self-devised, surname rhyme scheme we can only assume makes him more endearing to the fiddle-playing, country-lovin’ hoedown crowds of yesteryear.
Bathed in the glow of humming house lights and his eponymous theatre marquee sign most likely nabbed at a 1920s Parisian garage sale, Robbie purrs flawlessly through his poignant, somewhat holy, ballad ‘Roles Reversed’ and aims for the stars with his masterful take on ‘Life on Mars’ by the late, great Goblin King, David Bowie. Oh man, look at that caveman go!
This one’s for anyone with exes in Texas.
