Just watched the latest "That Pedal Show" and Ford announced he has just moved to London 
Hopefully more opportunities to see him.

I saw him in Sainsburys this afternoon.

Octavio

We have the same GP

mgaw

Saw him in boots today browsing hair dye

Kittyfrisk

Aaah, that explains the house price rises.

Revolutions

His bedroom is so untidy. And he ate my cake that I’d put in the fridge.

euan

Saw him buying two sausage rolls and a yum yum in Greggs this morning. 

Lebarque

Saw him in the local haberdashery buying four buttons for his shirt.

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Robben Ford.

I bumped into him in the street when I was out shopping with my family. He said “can I talk to your daughter?” Which was odd. 

Sporky

We're under 40 miles from Oxford Street, and there's been a spate of cats going missing. Coincidence?

Majorscale

Saw him driving in a Fiesta, maybe he had nicked it.

He's been living in Hampstead for a year renting from friends but has just got his own place. Was living in Paris before that.

I suppose being in London is a good base for European gigs, as was Paris, but his last album, Pure, had different influences, including the title track, which has Arabic and Indian elements and so maybe he wishes to move away from the Nashville, bluesy scene.

Maybe he'll do some Chas and Dave covers.. joking aside, There's No Pleasing You would be an incredible cover for him.

I hear they Dumbled overnight…

Lee Anderton seems to have hooked him, he's just bought  RELIC Strat from them and he's doing 'An Evening With' masterclass clinic in Guildford with them. Just wish he'd do bit of a tour here rather than the obligatory Ronnie Scotts alas he seems to play more abroad now he lives here. Currently on a Austria/Germany/Netherlands tour.

I foolishly thought he'd be touring all the time when he moved here. Hopefully there will be something soon since he's appeared on TPS and at Anderton's. 

I bumped into him at the restaurant upstairs at the Robin when he played there. He seemed pleased we didn't want to talk to him apart from saying hello. I'd be there like a shot if he played there again.
