Thanks Zoe, better idea of what to expect now. Looks like a mini version of the Roman theatre at Vaison or Fiesole. Hope we get weather to match  |

From reading what someone else posted, can you bring your own booze to the venue (in a responsible adult manner  )? |

Hi Jonny
I suppose officially not really as there is a bar and they would not be happy, I don't drink as I am driving and as the soft drinks are ridiculous prices I have always taken bottles of water/cans of drink with me.
I don't know whether other people do take in alcohol or not, I have never been stopped but then they may not have noticed me.
They also had a sort of half hearted BBQ going with burgers and veggie burgers, although these things may not be at every concert, the ones I go to have been organised by the Pokey Hole club.
Sorry not much help there!

Thanks for the reply!
We might try and sneak in a soft drink for my GF and I'll head to the bar.

WOW!!! It inevitably rained on the way, but what a lovely venue as described earlier! Swarb came on to huge applause, played some great tunes before the break. Then we were treated to what seemed to be a bit of history... Swarb and RT together... They did 3 or 4 (someone else will confirm exactly what they did I'm sure)... But the very best was when we heard the first notes of SLOTH.. with both RT and Swarb singing... That was a moment to savour.. well quite a few minutes really... It was SPECIAL.. in every sense of the word... I was entranced, as was the rest of the audience! I wondered if there would be a repeat at Cropredy..... I hope so, it was simply magical! RT then did a very powerful set which almost turned into a request show.. he was really on form.. Has he really only got ten fingers?? A stunning night of music in a lovely venue, even though it was cold and damp... nice to watch the bats flitting around under the canopy too at times. Lovely too to meet lots of TAW friends there. Thanks so much to the organiser.. the National Forest Folk Festival... they always come up trumps.. but how could they beat this gig? |

It was three....and I can't remember the other two either..... Jill/Swarb - can you tell us? There are going to be many gigs of the year for me - and that was certainly one! Agree with your comment about ait being an RT request show too! He can't have played many on his set list. Did anyone get a setlist? |

That only happens to be my favourite tune in the whole world. Any chance you and Richard can come to Edinburgh, Swarb? |

Me too. I'm especially chuffed to hear that all must still be well between both parties following Swarb's bowing out of the recent big gig. I sooooo wish I could have been there. Jules |

Thanks to all for their reviews/piccies. It was blooming marvellous wasn't it. Well worth getting lost in the badlands of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Warwickshire, along with half the audience it would seem!
I arrived fairly late so decided to stand behind the mixer, good choice actually - it gave a real insight into the way an excellent sound person can make a consummate artist even better, if that's possible.
Richard mentioned the misprint on the words to Bright Lights on the LP ("A couple of drunken KNIGHTS rolling on the floor") and explained what an LP was. I felt somewhat ancient as I bought the vinyl version when it came out, but Richard forgot most of Hokey Pokey so even Gods in Human Form have senior moments.
Swarb was great in the first half - he played my favourite Billy Pigg type hornpipe (Carrick wasn't it?) - but the killer punch for me was him and Richard doing Si Bheag Si Mhor, Sloth, and - whoopee! - Bogie's Bonnie Belle. I can't quite describe the atmosphere during those three. It was as if the audience was saying collectively to itself "We are really lucky to be here, we have to remember all of this".
