PITY about the low turn-out - this diminutive Scotsman deserved a bigger audience.
A natural storyteller with a droll wit, he performed 20 songs, each telling a story, accompanying himself on keyboards with occasional forays to centre stage to play guitar.
The subject matter of Michael's songs was gloriously diverse, from the tale of a fox appearing during a football match to the division of a divorcing couple's record collection.
Every song was rooted in experience and observation, with standouts including the amusing He Said, She Said about newspaper lonelyhearts columns to the self-explanatory Bob Dylan's Visit to Edinburgh.
A thoroughly captivating musical experience.
