First of all - thanks to Breezy for getting tickets for Mick and I.

I really enjoyed the concert. There was a good variety of material and, although I admit the sound left much to be desired from an audience point of view, I acknowledge that the sound was primarily for recording purposes and that we were there just to provide a live audience atmosphere.

Highlights for me included seeing the wonderful Dave Swarbrick giving his all with his usual spirited performance, despite his obvious illness. He received a much deserved standing ovation. If you read this Swarby, I've been a fan for many years and I'm looking to your next gig! I thought Eliza sounded even better than usual and was one of the clearest sounds in the whole concert.

Last but not least, it was great to see the wonderous, sexy John Kirkpatrick strutting his stuff. Great to see you John, but can the next gig be done in the buff please. Giggle.
