Can't let this thread fall into oblivion without mention of the wonderful free concert in the Arts centre bar at 12.30 on Sunday.

Hissyfit, Anna Shannon and David Swann each performed a song in rotation for 90 mins and the contrast in songs and styles was fascinating.

Hissyfit perfomed at the top of their now incredibly high standard Linda making light of her "eye" - hopefully now well on the way to being sorted.

Anna Shannon was completely new to me and her songs and voice and performance really hit the button. Anna is certainly the best new (to me) performer I have heard in a long while.Looking forward to hearing more.

Dave Swann introduced humour into the proceedings as well as acting as MC and song a set of great songs all of which were new to me.

A great concert leaving a warm glow for the survivors singaround.

Thanks all.
