Yes an extremely good turn-out (250+ imo) for one of most impressive and assured acts in the Uk at the moment. The new album is as good as you'd expect, and the songs come over even better than they did last night, specially California, which will be a contender for the MH and Whispering Bob shows (a very smart move to put one toe over longitude 45).

We were held up, so missed much of Sarah and James, but any guitarist who also plays drums with his feet is a star in my book. Two strongly emerging talents.

Niamh just goes from strength to strength. She's now an assured performer displaying both depth in the tradition and real invention. And she sings like and angel with exquisite timing.

It was one of those nights you'll be glad to be able to say you were there. 10 out of 10 all round (specially Chris on the desk, who's now a top engineer - really crisp bodrhan and double bass without masking Jamie's slaps takes some doing).

A turn-out of 250+ !!??

Excellent news of course But they're playing at our place a week tomorrow (Sun 24th Oct) and so far there's only seven tickets sold.

Is it because we're way darn sarf.....or maybe because we're charging money to get in??

Well Kat only lives in Barnsley and is I believe from nearer the South coast than we are, here

She can talk for England and of course I have said already that Jamie's good looks have him as the "new" Seth Lakeman

be prepared you Twickers for some startling assured fiddle work and percussive guitar playing, more akin to Jerry Douglas than Nick Jones

They're are very competent and entertaining musicians and singers

Jamie teaches at Kingstone school, which will also have helped, though people had travelled from far and wide - (there were five of us from the Chemic session in Leeds, for example). I think you'll get a good turn out on the night Gerry - certainly deserve to.

Thanks, Ray. They've actually guested for us once before....

Ta, Tom....people 'from far and wide' will be made especially welcome at our place.
