Two unsolicited emails received today -

Just wanted to say what a great night that was, and thank you.
First time I've seen him live. As Andy sang You Rambling Boys of Pleasure I really felt he had cast a spell on me.
You only get that with up close, acoustic sets, and its very special.
He can really tug on the heartstrings, his voice is wonderful for that
but he also makes you laugh!

and

Thank you so much for putting Andy on last night. A true legend and gentleman. Fantastic show.

A huge thank you to Andy for a really superb performance night last night played to a very appreciative capacity crowd. he is no youngster now but he is still at the top of his game.
Try to get to one of the gigs that Henry mentions in the previous post.

Very true. As well as being the cheapest, we are also the smallest location on his tour. I think he must like coming to us.

A great artist and great guy, with lots of stories to tell; I never tire listening to Andy. And at £8 it's a steal, people pay £20 to see him in other places!
