\"\"<\/a>A huge thank you to Stephen for his review of The Humans at The Scala, and for the photos also:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On arrival at the Scala the signs of Mr Fripp\u2019s well known intolerance for illegal recording, were noticeable in the form of a large number of hand printed poster notices from \u2018The Humans\u2019 stating that \u201cno unauthorised photography or recording of any kind would be permitted or you will be asked to leave\u201d. Harsh perhaps? But frankly refreshing to be at a gig again without being confronted by a sea of mobile phone screens shining back at you and distracting from the act in hand. The act in this case being Toyah, Bill Reiflin, Chris Wong and \u2018Mr Willcox\u2019 as the guest man at the back.<\/p>\n

After a no doubt talented, but rather middle-of-road support artist, Robert commenced the proceedings solo with one of his trademark soundscapes. I have personally always found watching RF perform to feel slightly voyeuristic and at times the hushed reverence can be uncomfortable (maybe a \u201cgood evening\u201d would help ease the audience in). However he is always impressive whether you are a fan or not, and at times I was wondering how such sounds could be coming from a mere guitar. During the piece, as reported, a shout of \u2018Cmon Toyah\u2019 could be heard, presumably from someone imagining the opening bars of Good Morning Universe would perhaps be next \u2013 erm, nope.<\/p>\n
