Great gig from this new band up in Ryburn 3 Step country last night (Tuesday).

Colin Patterson was not in singing mode due to illness so his place was taken by Keith Kendrick. The new trio had obviously worked hard at putting a set together (that afternoon) and gave everyone a great evening. Keith has a CD with seasonal songs and we had few of those; some of the tunes off PJD's new CD were played notably the M1 Waltz (by Nigel Chippindale) and a good night was had by all. Ralphie was excellent form and John Dipper seems to play the fiddle wih his fingers hardly moving.

Great tribute to the three of them and their musicianship that such a quality gig could be put together at such short notice. And perhaps even one of those unique evenings that may never happen again!!

Glad I was there. (And a great pub and folk club too).
