I saw them at the Holmfirth as well. A new venue for me which reminded me of my once local The Limelight.
Chantel was indeed impressive and had attracted her own following as it was noticeable that several left before Mostly Autumn took to the stage.
I agree with Alan that MA are better with a slightly shorter set and I thought it was the best I have seen them perform since Olivia fronted the band.
However, although I still keenly follow MA I prefer ‘Heather period’.
A bonus for me was buying the compilation of the first five edition of Autumn Leaves for only ten english pounds!

Was at the Holmfirth gig the night before a great venue and Â£17 for Mostly Autumn and Chantel represents great value, no surprise the venue was pretty full.
A great performance and I prefer a slightly shorter tighter set, it always strikes me as strange when a band goes for abreak after 50 mins or so.
Olivia is really becoming the star of the band with her stunning vocals, stunning looks and great stage presence and her version of rain song was simply awesome.
Great to see Anne Marie back she really injects personality and charisma into the stage show and Mostly Autumn really need a flute player.
