Show of Hands

Lovely concert last night at St. George’s Bristol. If you have never seen them you won’t be disappointed. We have seen them many times over the last few years and they are brilliant live.

Delightful set! The first half was songs from their latest album and the second half was going back to their roots. It was back to the original duo, Miranda Sykes will be back later in the year. They played a number of songs that haven’t been aired for some time like Santiago and many of them had found a new political resonance with many of today’s issues. I was especially pleased that their encore was an acoustic version of The Setting ( a moving Ralph McTell song about Irish Emigration ) interlaced as a medley  with Mary of Dungloe and yes the eyes did water!
