"Once again many grateful thanks for another brilliant show. We attended last year's show at the Ipswich Regent (having been unable to make the first gig in 1990), & I wrote to you afterwards to express profound appreciation for a marvellous evening. In fact a friend has recently shown me that my letter has the honour of featuring on your web-site in respect of that show.

I must write again in similar & equal appreciation of this year's show. You've all managed to emulate last year's performance. Another absolutely wonderful evening of fundamental, earthy R&B & Rock & Roll, played by a group of musicians (instrumentalists & singers) who 'live' the music & can share this experience with their audience. Thank you, all of you.

Being what is now considered by the present younger generations, as a 'geriatric', I wish that they could be there to discover what can happen when a few truly & profoundly talented musicians share a superb & memorable evening's music with their audience. I was initially disappointed to discover that Gary Brooker would not be appearing in the show, but although I still want to see
Gary with the band again, I have to say that Mike Sanchez was an inspired 'deputy'.

Where on earth did you find him? He's amazing - what energy, artistry, commitment, communication & lunacy!

Needless to say, you Bill, Georgie, Albert, Terry, Martin, Graham, Frank, Nick, Beverley & Janice were all utterly brilliant. It must get boring hearing that - but it's true. I've attended many live shows over the last 38 years, at varying sizes & types of venue, but nothing compares to the feeling you all manage to convey to, & evoke from, your audience. Many thanks - long may these tours continue (although I understand that you will only keep on with the set-up as long as you all enjoy it).

Yours, with thanks.

PS. Hope you do Ipswich again next year.

Brentwood Centre was quite the most uncomfortable seating (with less leg-room han a charter flight) that I have ever had the misfortune to experience! (Admittedly I'm a rheumatoid-arthritic geriatric - but I've never been in so much pain in so many places for such a long time!)

Never mind - the show made it worth all the agony."
