Generally speaking, I submit a review and / or pictures to Dick Greener for inclusion on Strawbsweb. This time however, I have turned the tables by including Dicks review on my site ! Add a few of my own comments and a lot of my photos, and I think that just about sums the night up perfectly.

"Second set was surprises time: and the first was the biggest of all. Dave took to the stage and to tumultuous applause announced Clare Deniz, who joined him for “Josephine” and, to my delight, “Forever”, during which you could hear a pin drop. I don't think I’d ever expected to see them perform with Clare again and was absolutely delighted. We were all mainly standing anyway, but there was certainly an ovation after those two and cries of more; hopefully those wishes will come true (Dave did mutter something about “Another Day” ...).

Then another Ovation, this time carried by me as I got up and did “On My Way”, to be followed in rapid succession (DC runs a tight ship show-wise) by Kevin West with “Five Tons To Shift”. Then Chas took centre stage for an acoustic rendition of “Starshine” from Ghosts. Neil Byford played “Yo Yo Man” and Tony Attwood, Witchwood Media Director, with a sixties style protest song of his own called “I’d Love To Dance With You Again”. Miller Anderson came on to give us a chugging blues number (Ry Cooder’s “Tamp’em Up Solid”) on Dave Cousins’ acoustic and a bluesy harmonica, and Dave Lambert finished up the second set with his acoustic tour de force “Stairway To Heaven”. - Dick Greener
