A great afternoon! (I'm sure the evening was, too, but we were off to Sheffield for an absoloutely cracking sing at the Kelham Island Tavern.) Many thanks to Bernard and Pauline – and anyone else who helped make this happen.

Brian Peters is such a wonderful interpreter of traditonal material – in addition to his considerable skill(s) on concertina, accordion & guitar, as well as his excellent singing. Great stuff!

I was also delighted to (finally!) have a chance to hear El Greko do more than a song or two, and it was all I'd expected: moving, powerful songs about "Ordinary Heroes", set to his distinctive and wonderful melodies – and so well performed. We were all particularly impressed by his "special effects"; the way he arranged to have the lightning flash through the window just behind him at appropriate points during the reverent, hymn-like "At the End of the Day" was a most effective enhancement of this lovely song.

BTW, on the list of floor singers above, I'm Vikki. And my sincere thanks to John & Pam R for picking me up at the train station & making it possible for me to attend/enjoy this Extravagantly Enjoyable Event!
