events like these &#8211; selling out a show featuring a relatively underground international artist in an intimate, seated venue (and with an interval during the performance, something so unusual it made me feel really uncultured) is very impressive.

His voice is still not my favourite, but it works.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m usually horribly intolerent of the whole <a title=\"Yoav, Ard Matthews &amp; Jon Savage at The Assembly\" href=\"http:\/\/lauramccullagh.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/yoav-ard-matthews-jon-savage-at-the-assembly\/\" target=\"_blank\">guy-with-a-guitar thing,<\/a> but Kristian Matsson kept things interesting the whole time. His really impressive guitar-playing and his earnest, funny comments &#8211; &#8220;I do a lot of whining in these songs, but I&#8217;m actually really happy to be here&#8221; &#8211; meant even watching him tune every one of his many guitars before playing them was entertaining.<\/p>\n<p><a
