Very good photos. I see Peggy has given up on the acoustic bass completely! |

Please excuse me for being an ignoramus, but what is the instrument Chris Leslie is playing on this tour that looks like a cross between a mandolin and a guitar? I'm sure someone here can tell me,

There were alot of people there, but what was advertised as 'a standing gig for that special festival atmosphere' wasn't really. I chose to sit on the floor, along with about 5 others, hence the good pics (and actually did end up giving it a slight festival atmosphere!) The rest of the crowd either stood right around the edges (leaning against various things) or found a secret stash of chairs which more and more people proceeded to take and arrange around the edges. I agree, not the best place for gigs in terms of crowd/atmosphere, but a lovely building and the band were fantastic. I loved being able to take pics without a) being told you're not allowed (The Sage, Gateshead) or b) having people's heads in the way  |

Bouzuki
Really? A friend of mine who knows more of these things than I said he didn't think it was a bouzouki. And It looks to be a different shape from the bouzoukis I have seen before. But I will bow to your superior knowledge. |

I don't think so - I think it is in the same range as the mandolin with an extra octave or something. |

Great pictures, thank you Tamlyn! I can't believe you're really called that and you're into Fairport...

OK, so if I understand that article correctly, it's name is whatever you decide to call it within the range of bouzouki, cittern, mandola, etc. Anyone know what Chris Leslie calls it? I don't have my CDs handy (they are all on the iPod) to see what it says on them. |

28 May - Huntingdon Hall, Worcester.
Another terrific gig. Whether it was Geoff Curtis on the desk or the acoustics of the ex-chapel, the sound was really good and lifted some of the songs (Close to You/Keep on Turning/Rocky Road) to a new level. The Cell Song as first part of the encore was spine-tingling.
Perhaps as a result of the chaps being tired towards the end of a long tour(although it certainly didn't show in the performance) both WKWTTG and MOTL were quite emotional.
Shame the Hall wasn't quite full. Maybe the addition of Peggy to the acoustic line-up gave the impression to the casual attendee that this would be the Wintour recycled. Those who were fortunate enough to be part of the Acoustic tour can confirm that this certainly wasn't the case - if anything the bass has added a new dimension to the acoustic presentation. And it's always nice to see Peggy anyway! As complete non-musicians we still can't get our collective heads round a five string bass!
Only two days to Chippy....
