A very enjoyable evening at a packed Leeds City Varieties as the Wintour bus rolls to the end.
For me, the highlight was Rising for the Moon, not least because I first saw FC in a tremendous performance at Leeds Uni in '75. The comment above I most agree with is that Sally Barker should have done a couple more. Her voice is good for the more robust end of Sandy's repertoire such as John the Gun. I'd also like to have seen her take on Matty Groves.
I've probably been to five Wintours now over the last fifteen years and have enjoyed them all. The bus song and the DIY song are not memorable but as songs for live performance they play to their strength as an ensemble.

I would definitely recommend the current line-up of Fotheringay, she sings a very fine version of John the Gun with them
