Have you ever woken up in an empty bed, blear-eyed and smelling of stale perfume, with a broken heart in one hand and an empty bourbon bottle in the other? You have? Well, Virg is singing just for you.

‘A torrent of jovial mockery…hard to beat for intelligent high spirits.’- J.W Lambert: Sunday Times

 ‘I caught Virg’s show in Birmingham. He sings for the bar-room-loners, for the disenchanted and the broken-hearted. I laughed till I cried. I love him.’ 
                                                              Ruby Turner: Soul Singer & Star of Jools Holland Big Band.                                
               
‘Musical open-heart surgery!’ – The Lancet.
