I Robert Palmer and Terry Ronald Playhouse Theatre. Greenside Place. 557 2590. 7.30pm. £15, £12.50. Peckham-born Terry Ronald is no apprentice Palmer. having travelled to New York to record with players who had worked with heroes like Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. and making his first video in the Soviet Republic of Georgia. Palmer's reptilian sex-god persona should provide quite a contrast.
