Not surprised there are plenty of tickets available for Waterson Carthy at RAH. Most disappointed at a very amateurish show called Frost and Fire. The Mummers play was enough to make our beer curdle.

I must admit I had somewhat similar feelings when I saw "Frost and Fire". Musically, it was excellent, but everything else seemed very ... well, amateurish doesn't quite get it either - I've seen many mummers' plays (and other plays) by amateurs which were excellent. F&F was under-rehearsed, certainly. Self-indulgent, maybe?

I saw it very early in the tour (Dartford); maybe that was a factor.

But I've still bought tickets for the Watersons at Albert Hall in the hope F&F was some weird abberation!
