Thanks for comments above. It was a wonderful night with a fantastic response - also great to have my old friend and hero around for a few days before heading off this morning to Denmark. I recorded a lot more interview and fixed up a photo session with Judith Burrows: we'll hang on to those til next year, when we have A Plan that needs a few 'i's crossing and 't's dotting before mentioning in public.

Norman D has written in slightly more detail and I've posted a snap from the gig on the fRoots Board.

On the night, John completely forgot the few copies of his recent live CD with Tony Glover that he had left to sell after the Irish tour, so I bought them off him. If anybody would like to buy one of them, see the link above for detaIls.

I still don't understand why he's not considered a national treasure in the USA, with the Awards and citations that go with such things.
