50th anniversary tour and still going strong. Only Maddie left of the orginal line up but the current one have been together a good while and perform extremely well together. Plenty songs old and new in the 2+ hours of performing. One I had not heard them do before was Dave Goulder's "January Man" and they made a grand job of it. Only down side was that the sound mix was not as good as usual but maybe that was me. Besides, with Thomas the Rhymer before the break and Tam Lin starting the second half, I could forgive anything. Except maybe Benji Kirkpatrick's joke about the local pub that was strewn with old books and broken bikes. It was full of bar tat... :-)

Go and see them!

My brother in law has been to see them tonight at The Tivoli in Wimborne.

I was too flu-ed up to go. i used to go and see them a lot when ken Nicol was with them.

My brother in law is a completist - as i knew ken we went to see them backstage.

Rick kemp was saying , we've only done two videos really...

My brother in law pipes up , That can't be right, I've got four...

Everyone in the room turns round and you can see them thinking, WHO is this...?
