Very satisfying and exciting show, running from 21:27 to 23:09, under mercifully clear skies to an estimated audience of 1,000+. Good solid sound throughout venue. Geoff Dunn was man-of-the-match, playing a brilliant set despite having just broken his collar-bone: his Conquistador in particular was astonishing. Great variety of material; highly-appreciative crowd (dancing, cheering, waving sparklers). A fine time was had by all. |
