    Gordon Giltrap last night at the Lights Andover was a superb, intimate, concert where he played solo and displayed all his mastery of both acoustic and electric guitars. We were in row 2 and right in front of him so we could see all his fingering very clearly. GG had an easy way with the audience, regaled us with stories of his experiences and played some utterly compelling music. I can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed at a concert, especially after a day's work. Most enjoyable.

    That sounds like a great gig Steve. I can still remember buying my copy of The Show Goose LP from Paper Chase in Manchester when it first came out, and I still play the very same LP to this day on a regular basis. Very underated is our Mr.Latimer.

    I like everything really. From the britpop bands like UB40 right back to classic rock, like Wings. They're only the band the Beatles could have been.
