Thread Name: Review Imagined Village CD
Subject: RE: Review Imagined Village CD
I was at the Bridgewater Hall as well last night, and can echo what Les and Ian say. Particular personal highlights were: Johnny Kalsi's percussion, Sheila Chandra's 'Welcome Sailor', the Sitar playing throughout (but especially on 'Scarborough Fair') and Eliza Carthy's utter joie de vivre. The ornithology quiz was fun too.

Fantastic, go and see it if you can. It was disappointing to see the venue only about two-thirds full though. It thoroughly deserved a sell out.

I've had the CD for a couple of weeks and have listened to it a few times. Some of it I like a lot, but it's not a patch on the live show.
