Confession: when we awarded Ed Hamell a Herald Angel for his Fringe show The Terrorism of Everyday Life a few years back, one member of the critical team who had failed to get to a performance was yours truly.

So many thanks to Celtic Connections for giving me another opportunity to see a full Hamell On Trial show. I wont be making that mistake again.
The Happiest Man in the World, a song from that show's successor (currently a work-in-progress) is an early highlight of this set – a conventional gig, in as much as Hamell does conventional. His recipe for happiness is simple: "When you aint got nothing/You aint got nothing they can take away."
