Over the last half a year a regular monthly fixture of Robert’s diary has been Mitch Benn and the Distractions residency at the Phoenix, Cavendish Square, near Oxford Circus. Silky and Vikki Stone were particularly brilliant this month with the usual stand-out solo turn from Distraction Kirsty Newton. Check out the website for news of next month’s line-up. It’s bound to be marvellous. http://distractionclub.com/
