I don't go to a lot of folk gigs and was expecting a livelier atmosphere. Perhaps the venue (a converted church) and the obvious deep regard the band are held in by their established fans meant that the performance almost seemed like a sermon. That said, there can be no doubting the great song writing and musicianship of the group, joined throughout by Miranda Sykes on double bass. Those used to a diet of easy going rock and pop songs may be surprised by the overtly political content of some songs but that doesn't detract from their appeal, particularly the haunting 'Katrina' and the vitriol of 'Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed. A great night which has encouraged me to see the band again when they play Wickham festival so I can compare the gigs.

It's 21 years since Show of Hands formed as a duo so I was surprised to hear Steve Knightley announce that this was the first time they had performed at this venue. They clearly relished playing in the Victorian splendour and were in fine form, much audience participation indicated that the sell-out crowd enjoyed it too.

The duo of '3' gave a terrific performance that had the audience jumping about , clapping and singing right from the start. Plenty of new songs and some old favourites all presented with renewed vigour and plenty of surprises. They played their instruments with a vitality and skill that drew the audience in right from the start. Their years of experience at stage craft had them playing the audience with similar effect. It was great that Miranda had an opportunity to perform solo and demonstrate her own talent. I felt quite gutted when the evening finished-
