Skipjack sums it all up well. A magical evening. I'll post some of the songs when I have more time.
You did not introduce yourself Skipjack so I'm afraid I had to assume that you were one of the heckling drunks! ;-)
Steve came out to sign stuff and chat after the show. I managed to give him one of my CDs. I know that's supposed to be the other way round, but I've bought most of his so I thought it was only fair. He said he'd listen to it! I went after that as even if there were to be a later opportunity to speak to him, there was a healthy queue behind me and it would have been a long wait.
I thought the audience was a bit too subdued and Steve did brilliantly to engage us. I was standing off to the left of the seating area, leaning against the wall, and I felt he was singing just for me most of the time.
The DVD is excellent by the way. Lots of archive footage and interviews where Steve goes "Um...er...well... I dunno....".
Why he is not huge I don't know. Let's hope he is back next year....
How was The Lion Inn?
