Great to see Robert Hart again whom I had seen earlier sitting in with FRONTM3N while Peter Howarth was touring with the Hollies. Also great to see John Lingwood on drums whom I had seen with Roger Chapman & The Shortlist (last time in 2013 who also featured our dear Nick Payn - a long time ago). A special mention goes to Mick Rogers for his excellent guitar work but in fact they were all brilliant. Some of the old songs were newly arranged and sounded a bit different but still easy to recognize. "Mighty Quinn" (Quinn the Eskimo) closed the show, everybody jumped to their feet singing along and having a great time.
A perfect way to brighten up a dark and wet November day.
