Well folkies I went, and I enjoyed. It was held in a small village hall, seating no more than 200 people, and the atmosphere was good. Eric sang and talked and told stories of his life, it was a nice intimate venue. He was accompanied by just the one musician, John Campbell Munro, he was the perfect foil for Eric musically, and humourwise. Not only that but sat either side of the stage they looked like bookends, being of similar build and colouring. Only heard one song I hadn't heard before, but enjoyed them all, especially Gomez & Blodwyn. I gather John Munro is part of Colcannon, so I guess I'll have to find out more about them now.
