intro

Dan Cressey watches folk-rocker Chris TT play a stroppy, but shambolic set at 93 Feet East in London

Chris TT came on late, played only a few songs and really looked as if he couldn’t be bothered this night. He opened his set with an a cappella version of perhaps his weakest song – an anti road building song of cringeworthy lyrics. Things didn’t get much better from there on in. Even his best songs, such as an anthem for Britain’s rebellious giraffes and their dreams of flying, are buried under his obvious ennui. At one point he even decides the ultra-trendy Shoreditch crowd is not enthusiastic enough, and demands they “pretend we’re Hot-fucking-Chip or something.” Although he blamed an earlier band for overrunning rather than trying to make up for this he simply appears to give up. After only about 20 minutes he’s had enough and leaves. Chris TT is capable of writing exciting and involving music. He’s clearly also capable of throwing a bit of a strop. Tonight we got little of the former and a lot of the latter.
