I really enjoyed the concert last night at Union Chapel, I love that venue, don't like having to queue outside though, a necessity if one wishes to be in the front few pews... (wonder what its like up in the balcony area?) Forgot to take my cushion though, no wonder people don't go to church much these days...!
I liked it that, for a change, Chris didn't play violin, but played many other instruments, including the banjo which gave a wonderful, foot tapping 'Matty' It made such a change to leave out 'duelling' fiddle playing. Several songs from the new album sounded so good, Ralph's 'Clear water' and 'Wild Cape Horn' suit the Fairport style but for me Simon playing more on leccy guitar made it rock. His singing on 'John Condon' moved me to tears almost.
I came away thinking this was the best concert for a couple of years.
Rosie and Kev were a good listen to start the evening too. She does have rather long legs doesn't she?!
