The bard pays homage to his two muses: his wife and his football club

Chilly Gonzales
Royal Albert Hall, London
CHILLY GONZALES is a unique artist who has always managed to plough his own furrow. Dropped by his record label in 2004 after handing them a solo piano album (in complete contrast to the dancefloor rap they had signed him for), he went on to release it independently, whereupon it became his bestselling album to date.
He has remained independent ever since, leaving him free to experiment and change direction as he sees fit — often in the middle of a song, as it happens.
His latest album, Gonzo, throws down a self-therapising gauntlet to his fellow musicians, posing the stark question: can you be as arrogantly vulnerable; fearlessly iconoclastic and recklessly genre-busting as this, and still rock the party — all in one go?
