oh well.. found some video clips from the summer..

might be an ok gig..

but'd probably be a lot better
if they had a decent fiddle player
to liven them up a bit..

I checked the tenacitymusic link for gigs in my area & it looks as if the concert at Ware isn't happening but they will be at Stevenage.

They don't seem to come close to Manchester, shame!

bit late following this up..

they were very good..

not enough 'folk rock' for me..


set is mostly high quality country blues rock ..



but they bravely made an excellent job of a couple of sandy denny songs..

which only the most nasty old armchair cricics would fault them on..



set was mostly too democratic 'taking it in turns'

reverential showcase for old bloke genuine great talents..



me.. i'd prefere an entire set of Kristina Donahue fronting

old 70's folk rock standards

with probably one of the best old bloke backing bands

i'll ever have the privilege to see again..
