For the second time in a forthnight I saw a member of an eighties band who’s been solo for three decades. Lloyd Cole may not have the same stage presence and energy as Morrissey, but he played a fine show at Dolans on Saturday. Lloyd started out with the Commotions and he released three albums with them before going solo in the late 80s. Like The Smiths, The Commotions played melodic indie pop combined with witty albeit melancholic lyrics. His solo work continued in this vein and he has amassed seven albums, two live sets and a box set since going out on his own. As he told us from the stage he now lives in Massachusetts with his wife and two kids. He has become an enthusiastic golfer as well and has a 5.3 handicap (apparently this is good)
