Subject: RE: Gig tonight: CHRIS FOSTER & BARRA
I saw their stupendous performance last night in Wandsworth and the tunes are still ringing in my ears. New material and arrangements from the last time they were over, harmony singing in the traditional Icelandic style and authentic instruments such as the kantele and langspil as well as Chris's exquisite Fylde guitar. People of Yorkshire, get ye into Sheffield now!
