As two McF band members were AWOL (in France), the decision was to play under a different name, hence 'Taylor Max'
Dunc McF elected to play electric guitar the whole evening and dual with Geoff (like the old days!)
Gerry McNeice stood in way more than admirably on bass guitar duties.

The 'usual' material and arrangements thereof had to be drastically dropped/revamped - and Geoff was given the dominant role of chief 'show-off' for the evening (I mean that kindly, as in - 'featured')

Taylor leading the way supported by the the two Mc's (McF & McN)
Hence the name!
Phew - that took some explaining!
Anne on leccie fiddle and Nick on drums completed the ensemble.

So there were extra HEAVY souped up versions of Woodshed Boys and Can't Go there etc for the first half - an interval - and about a two hour second 'half' of 'traditional' cover versions just for fun!
(Elvis, Stones, Beatles, Bad Company, Steppenwolf!!! etc etc)
It all went very, very well!!! - Dunc
