The songs all have a 'back story' Ian. 'Bendigo' is there because Liz used to spend time at Hull Fair visiting relatives with her Garndfather. The relatives owned a Boxing Booth. You heard the reason for 'Banners' being in there. Sometimes the back story only appears after we;ve learned the song, hence the note for 'Thresherman'. This is the trouble with downloads IMO, people only get the song, cherry-picked out of the album which itself has a story and context and then they don't get the sleeve notes either. The title track doesn't make sense without the sleeve notes which also expalain the picture on the front of the CD.
The audience were fabulous, I particularly loved the way that they eased Megan through that slight hesitation into a lovely performance. There were some serious names in the audience too I might add. Many thanks for your support
