We came on after a beautiful and delicate set by the Tony Gould Trio that held the audience spellbound.
Wanting to sustain that moment, we changed our set, starting with Fool On The Hill: primarily guitar (Kevin) with Ann’s beautiful flute and just a little bass (Daniel) and drums (Allan) in the middle.
Earlier that day, I’d heard Cute described as a drum solo with instrumental fills so, to Allan’s surprise, he introduced Cute with a 16-bar drum solo.
Wade had wowed a small audience on Saturday night in the Stadium, but Sunday night saw a large and enthusiastic audience enjoy his mellow tones as he took us through jazz standards, musicals, more Beatles and a sensuous rendition of Mustang Sally (with backing vocals from a significant proportion of the audience!).
Thanks to the kind audience who took the trouble to come up and tell us that this set was the highlight of the Festival.
‘Sounding Awesome.’
