Edwyn Collins, Convention Center, Austin Tx, Saturday 19 March 2011 (SXSW)

Edwyn opened with 'I'm Loving Sleep', which had a fun sax, then played a pretty song, with driving arpeggios, then Make Me Feel Again, It Dawns On Me and a really fun and lively version of Rip It Up. 'What is My Role?' was powerful and emotive and seemed very personal.

His son William joined him for In Your Eyes, which was quite spectacular and really touching - created quite a moment on the Dot Com stage. Then he played Don't Shilly Shally (an old Orange Juice song), with great dual guitar work from the backing band.

He finished with a really nice bluesy, summery version of A Girl Like You, which really built at the end and rocked out. Edwyn's singing was great and the audience gave him a standing ovation after the set.
