I saw Show of Hands a couple of years ago at Toronto's Harbourfont. They played to a sparse UNfolky crowd, I only recognized about two people. All the crowd seemed very appreciative of them. I personaly thought that they were ^%*^%*&%* brilliant. Really liked their style which is not Trad but is mostly written or performed in a Trad style. They seemed to me to be a really good Live Band as well. I plug them over here every chance that I get. Only had one negative reaction from a real Trad Nazi. If you can get to see them, do so. They also have a great website, which if I could do the blue clicky things would appear now. (must read that bit again) JohnB
