I cannot add anything to Katy's Mum's superb review (on the wintour spoilers thread).  It was a magical evening, and this is what happened before the show!

Watch Peggy's eyes in the last few bars of the tune. Remember it was he who did the selection off videos for the Cropredy acts for 20 years or so. Wink Grin

All right, as a family friend I know I am biased, but so what!!! Rock on, Dennis. Grin

Angela, was it Dennis who was asked, at an acoustic gig, if he had his passport with him?  I think FC were leaving for the USA at the end of that week.

I just felt compelled to say what a great show it was tonight (well, last night) at Burnley Mechanics.
Magnificent!

We had an argument the other night - all because she said I didn't open the car door for her.  She said I panicked and swam out my side first....

Caught the Edinburgh & Glenfarg shows & can only echo what has been said by most of you - the band are absolutely at the top of their game on this tour.    

Two different set lists as well & what a great choice of gems from the back catalogue.  My only quibble was that we got something of a truncated show at Glenfarg with a few songs missing - no doubt due to the late start set by the promoter with the band then struggling to get as much as they could in before chucking out time!

The venue itself was very nice - slightly bigger room than the Bein Inn (& much better bar service!) - however while the Bein Inn was perfect for the acoustic show I have my reservations about this type of venue for the full Wintour show.  Very nice chandeliers though!

I am delighted, though, that Scotland has got back on the tour itinerary over the last couple of years.  They'll always be welcome on this sort of form.
