An excellent evening, band really enjoying themselves, same set list as Harrow, highlights for me; "Time to think" and "Whose gona...." with the subtle change of lyrics, the "One Rule", medley "Dark side", "Billy.." with a wonderful guitar solo. "Gina" worked very well with a "real" piano, "Help" I could have done without, and would have liked a full "Listern to Me", and "Pilgrim", but that aside, very good musicanship, Pete's keyboards mix in the sound sometimes to low sadly where I was sitting. Enjoyed Matt's drum frills/panto drum rolls, Pete's patter re some of the songs, [brought "Dark Side" to life]. Forgot to add about the audiance partisipation, best in "us" doing the "backing vocals" for Laser Love. Also, enjoyed the Show of Hands song, and Pete right when saying they should have won a Folk award for ther song "Roots", [ find it on the Folk Awards sampler on Proper records]. The venue manager [?] joined in for "Island", and would welcome A.T.F. return, and I hope they do !

P.S John wearing double hearing aids, is this due damage from being a long term musican, also being videoed, for a future release, definitly need a live disc from the gig.

P.S 2 Spell checker does not work, please excuse errors.
