A Brief trip to Devon

Hi all

Arthur visited Devon on Thursday, initially to drop off some tapes, but he ended up playing a couple of numbers at the Exeter Picturehouse with Matthew North and then appeared on BBC Radio for a great interview.

At the show Arthur played 2 songs Devils Grip and That's How Strong my Love Is.

He stunned the audience whom did not expect him to be performing tonight. Here is a video someone shot of Devils Grip.
