Tissø Lake

In my final year of University I lived with my friend Janoh who plays music as Tissø Lake with a rotation of musicians. We visited him in Cambridge in the snow a few months ago and last week he came to stay and played the first show of his summertime tour at the Hourglass in Exeter (a fine establishment, full of cats, boardgames and good food) on Sunday. The show was as beautiful as expected, the music is cold and clear and lonely like Dartmoor on a wet day.

Although he is my friend I am not so biased as to pretend the music is good for politeness sake, just that I am lucky enough to like those kind of songs already and then I was lucky enough to live with him and go to lots of shows. Robin plays violin and drums and they have set off for Bristol-London-Brighton-Cambridge-Sheffield-Edinburgh to play for friends and strangers.
