Several months ago Dave Cousins mentioned to me that he was in need of a fiddle player for a concert he was arranging in Deal, I naturally recommended my friend Ian Cutler of Hot Rats and Feast of Fiddles, and the rest as the say is history. Ian's amazing fiddle playing added something unique to Dave's compositions and the whole evening was a great success and indeed a sell-out.

The theatre was taken back in time to 1930's Berlin, where the audience were treated to variations of some classic Strawbs tunes, and a couple of numbers that Dave said he had always wanted to perform. Also during the evening we were entertained by close up magician Glynda, a young guitar duo " Impromptu Swing", the fabulous "Cabaret" of Pussy D'Amour, jazz piano from Chris Ball and the comedy of Fred Wedlock.
