Reviews

I made the trip up to Scotland to see the two gigs that were part of the Edinburgh festival. Bit disappointing as (I presume due to poor ticket sales) the four shows as listed on The Assemly Rooms' website had reduced to two, one on each day and tickets were being sold "2 for the price of 1" at the box office on the day of the show.

Here's the setlists if anyone's interested...

First night was plagued with sound problems and wasn't that good. Sound better on the second night and the performance was a lot more enthusiastic.

Tony, just about recovered from the drive there and back!
