A truely magical evening with some stunning performances from all the artistes. The nihgt had it all, the delicate haunting sound of the Unthanks, the big band sound of the Doonans, the wall of sound that is the Wilson family and the obvious emotion and joy from the Elliotts, which was felt by everybody in the hall. The finale 'Union Miners' led by the Doonans, with dancing from the Unthanks and then into the powerhouse singing of the Wilsons to finish was outstanding! It got everybody in the hall to their feet, to give them the standing ovation they so rightly deserved. It was a pleasure to be there!
