FINLEY QUAYE - EVENTS SQUARE, FALMOUTH, 31/05/12

FINLEY QUAYE - EVENTS SQUARE, FALMOUTH, 31/05/12. Rumours of Howard Marx’s attendance turned out to be unfounded, but Finley Quaye still managed to deliver weed-infused joy by the kilo. During a set that featured as many spliffs as songs, Quaye reminded why, fourteen long years ago, he had emerged as that great rarity: a truly worthy Brit Award winner. Mr Nice might not have made it to Falmouth last night, but had Marx done so he would have experienced a sense of well-being that even the purest strain of prime Moroccan hashish could not provide. 


The following snippet was rejected by the local Falmouth Packet because its content wasn't deemed 'family friendly'. Judging by their sensationalist front-page content that targets students and the non-Cornish in general, I think they meant 'family friendly' in a Jan Moir/Richard Littlejohn kind of way: Rumours of Howard Marx’s attendance turned out to be unfounded, but Finley Quaye still managed to deliver weed-infused joy by the kilo.
