Subject: RE: best thing seen at a folk club
Ooooooh - Runrig have had their crown snatched from them. I had forgotten all about the Incredible String Band. I had heard of the obviously and I am of an age where you would think I had seen them before - Not so.

I was at a very dull trade show in Brighton a couple of years back when I noticed a poster advertising the ISB at the Komedia club. What a fabulous night that was. The Komedia, for those that do not know it, seems to be a throwback to the old 'night club' days. Table seating, table service and food as well as good beer and live music.

The band were out of this world. I have bought everything I could of theirs since. Some of the early stuff is very naive 60's 'hip' but musicaly they were stunning even then. Now, if the line up is still going, they are even better.

Cheers
