Hannah stood in for Anne Marie a couple of years ago playing Keyboards and doing backing vocals for quite a few gigs an excellent singer.
the way I see Mostly Autumn is that there is a core of maybe four members and then a wider group of musicians who rotate as and when they are available to play. This set up seems to work fine for all parties.

Chris Johnson rejoined a couple of years back to replace Liam; he’s playing guitar this time rather than keys. Angela Gordon has been playing with the band for most of this year in place of Anne-Marie, because there were a lot of clashes with Panic Room dates. You’re right that there was no formal announcement, and I don’t know whether this is permanent of not. A few weeks back I don’t think the band had decided.

Hannah Hird is a backing singer who’s guesting with the band for the four end-of-year shows, and only for the second part of the show.

Who’s in Mostly Autumn these days? I see Angela mentioned a lot, but don’t ever remember it being announced that she was coming back. Who’s Hannah Hird? Is Chris Johnson back with them… And is that as well as Iain?

It really was a great gig Tim, definitely my gig of the year. Interesting that you singled out “The Gap is Too Wide” as the highlight. I’d really been looking forward to that one, having never previously heard it live. I agree that the ladies did a great job on the choral section, but probably too great, as Bryan’s guitar work was drowned out somewhat. For me the highlight was probably “Sheep” although mention must be made of “Great Gig” which I thought Iain and Olivia absolutely nailed.
