His tone is apologetic. He is aware that we are not an audience of N'Awlins blues nuts, here to savour the nuances of Lead Belly's . We are here to see a very famous man play a piano. In the UK, we are still liable to confuse Laurie with the lovable nincompoop Bertie Wooster or Blackadder's pompadoured Prince George; the genial twit to former foil Stephen Fry.
But Hugh Laurie is probably most widely known as Dr Gregory House, a TV physician who voices casual misanthropy in a terrific American accent. House has been running on the US Fox network for seven years and it has made Laurie . And so it was that a Warner's executive assembled a Buena Vista Social Club- style album under the aegis of this unlikely, yet bankable, fan- boy. The result is Let Them Talk, Laurie's thoroughly convivial covers album, which features Dr John and the arrangements of Allen Toussaint. Laurie is acutely aware of his flagrant jamminess, and that actors are not allowed to become musicians without a serious suspension of disbelief. Indeed, we await any forthcoming hip- hop album by Dominic West with interest. Tonight, Laurie describes working with the five- man Copper Bottom Band (his touring outfit) as akin to a rich uncle going away for the weekend and leaving Laurie the keys to his Ferrari.

And while Laurie is not in their league, tonight, he is, if anything, a little too apologetic and in awe of his material. Laurie is no grandstanding virtuoso, but his spidery hands certainly know their way around a piano. Having evolved out from an English folk song, the old leper's hospital of the title is now St James's Palace, a venue gawped at by multiple millions of royal wedding viewers, Laurie delightedly points out. Laurie switches between piano and acoustic guitar throughout the evening, playing happily off his band, whose mastery of the wooze of the south is never less than convincing. The advertised drinks interval is replaced by the band downing a trayful of whiskey shots before JB Lenoir's . Too often, he is Hugh Laurie the actor, drawling in an accurate rendition of an accent, inhabiting the part.
