Unfortunately, Sasha was held up by trains and couldn't make it. But we enjoyed the others who filled in at the last minute. Gorgeous venue. Lovely organisers. Bar well stocked

an excellent work in progress gig, Alasdair was very good explained the process and tried out his new material and it all went well, a bigger audience would have been better, but it is a small venue, but it was an intimate jig and it all went very well
