To all our UK friends,

If you get a chance then try to catch the band in Southampton tonight(The Brook - 02380555366) and on Friday in London at the Mean Fiddler(08701 500044).  We saw them last night in Bilston and they were fantastic.  New for this tour: A Sailor's Tale with an authentic guitar solo per Islands and Starless.  No 'tron but still absolutely mesmerising.

Best,

Martin
 
 
Martin's right - stunning gig, although the band are effectively a high-class tribute outfit. They're starting to put a couple of their own songs in the set, although comparisons are unfair. Highlights? 'Cirkus', 'Court...', 'Epitaph' and the cheeky encore of 'Starless', although I believe both Collins and McDonald played on the original.
