James and John’s solos were inventive, intriguing and thoroughly musical and Mark’s drums matched each nuance and set the musical moods. The audience particularly enjoyed the feelings of space in Old Fashioned Hat; the power and passion in Lindsay’s working of a Joshua Redman tune; and the sparkling rendition of Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes. We are delighted and privileged to enjoy a band of such exceptional quality on a wintry Thursday in Hexham.

Lindsay is on fire tonight – no disputing. James and John simply brilliant – David making his debut with the band provided more plus points. The evening had been a great success. The horns and the rhythm section of Harrison, Pope and Robertson gelled to perfection.
