Hi there Troubador,
What a smashing village - not just the place but the people too. You certainly find some great locations for your concerts.
We were certainly blessed with two full versions of "the Dodo"- and part deux brought forth some interesting requests, not least "Splinter", the 'effect 'as you described it, asked for by Mr Stranks.
I spoke with a number of the audience during the evening ( a benefit of the seating being arranged around tables for supper in the interval } and all were enthused by your wonderful music. Comment was passed that, although you are respected and admired by your peers - many the best in the business - you seem to keep your feet firmly on the ground and remain a genuinely modest and thoroughly approachable chap. I believe that this may well be one of the secrets of your popularity and success.
It was so good to meet Mike Stranks and enjoy a getting to know you chinwag during the interval. I genuinely look forward to meeting both him and other Forum stalwarts at future events. Paul and his missus from Finland are clearly GG enthusiasts too, but when you told of their long journey to be at this gig, I got the impression that some thought it a wind-up. I trust that they both had a safe journey home.
i VERY much appreciated your comment when you autographed my "Brush and Stone" album sans surname. The honour is certainly mine, Sir, and I will continue to offer my support at least until the court injunction and restraining order arrive.
Trust you enjoyed your 'do' in London. Very best regards to both you and Hillary.
Keith (and Fiona)
