now then, Richard.................. that was a belter of a show and as everyone above has said this is you and the guys at the top of your game and when you and Shez get going on those axes its feckin ace. The Rickenbacker was singing in the winter/woods combo.
Here's the setlist for anyone who hasn't seen Sheffield (I haven't)
Which Way
Tonight the streets are ours
Skys Edge
I still want you (with Charlie/Charlene Beresford on violin)
Leave your body behind you
Sometimes I feel
Open up your door
Tuesday PM (C Beresford on violin)
Time will bring you winter
Down in the woods
Don't stare at the sun
Remembrance Sunday one minute's silence (observed perfectly)
Hearts of Oak
Storm
Coles Corner
What love means
The Ocean
It was a lovely addition to have the violin on-stage which I hadn't seen at Holmfirth, but maybe has been everywhere since. The Mensa Christmas party jibe was out for the odd gobshite at the front middle but thankfully they didn't cause too many problems
Bristol's only an hour away for me and it's very tempting tonight but I have male voice choir practice on a Monday and I've gotta get my California Dreamin' head on
We got caught up at the Rum Shack with a tidy house band for longer than we should have done before the show but that resulted in a great position central about 15-20 people back, but sorry not to bump into too many folk I know last night. Spare ticket re-selling was impossible so I gave mine to the staff in the bar downstairs that Helen was on about. Sound was excellent once the guys sorted out the fuzz bass from the left stack (looking at the stage) in Which Way.
Top top night once again and roll on Southampton.
Cheers Richard and all who make these nights possible oh and a bad mistake edit - thanks for getting 6 of my Top 10 in
