The Floating Palace
Curated by renowned English eccentric Robyn Hitchcock, The Floating Palace is an intimate evening of free-wheeling musical collaboration featuring KT Tunstall, Eliza & Martin Carthy, Krystle Warren and Howe Gelb.
It's a simple concept: musicians admire each other, are a little envious of each other, and, given the chance, like to play with each other. But normally they only get the chance to do this in the studio, or after hours. For the first time before a paying audience, we present a carousel of exceptional 'roots' artists; all lit within by their passion for music, accompanying each other on songs they know and songs they've only just met.
Robyn Hitchcock is joined by award winning Scottish songstress KT Tunstall, folk legends Martin and Eliza Carthy, American singer Krystle Warren and alt country experimentalist Howe Gelb.
Make sure you don't miss this very special evening if the Floating Palace swings by your city. You can catch them live on the following dates:
05/02/2012 - Glasgow ABC1 as part of Celtic Connections 2012
06/02/2012 - Gateshead, The Sage
08/02/2012 - London, Barbican Centre
11/02/2012 - Brighton, Dome
12/02/2012 - Coventry, Warwick Arts Centre

i know! was sort of disappointed that the Floating Palace wasn't, you know, actually a boat. Though I think he's already done shows on boats.

One day one of these events will be so compelling I'll simply have to get on a plane.
But I did get to see him with Joe Boyd, which was fun. He usually gets to Boston almost annually so I can't complain too much.
Gotta think he'll be quiet this year, he's been quite prolific lately.

It does my heart good to see someone rate Lysander that high. The best song on Perspex Island, IMO.
you've also identified the pulsing heart of Globe of Frogs (vibrating + Chinese bones)
Interesting that you have shorted the green and gold 'indoor' albums (trains/eye). While I agree with conventional wisdom that the former is a robyn peak, I do think eye is a bit overrated, including by robyn himself.
