I, for one, am really looking forward to next Wednesday's Welsh debut gig by Steve and Mandy at Llantrisant. It was 30 years ago when I played the first album by Matthews' Southern Comfort, and my ears pricked up I heard Iain Matthews (who had left Fairport Convention) singing Darcy Farrow, a strange, beautiful, odd little ballad from the pen of Steve Gillette - little did I think that I would have to wait another 30 years just to see Steve and Mandy! Steve's a mighty fine guitarist, and Mandy's a mighty fine singer and multi-instrumentalist too - when I get a minute, I'll jot down some of their blurb.
