I had the good fortune to see these folk at Symphony Hall on Sunday night. As has been said above, the entrance fee would have been justified for any one of the ensemble. There were sooo many highlights.... it was good to see Paul Brady smiling all the way through. Having attended his gigs over a forty year period, this has not always been the case but he seems to be in a much better place now and that is good. I loved Ashley Cleveland's intro to how a good Presbyterian like her came to Gospel. Enthralling - and what a voice!

I also thought the backing people were tops. John Doyle, Josh Mackintosh and Danny T were just amazing. All in all, magical evening in a marvellous venue. And even the parking was easy.

Big up to Birmingham!
