Distant Train as an opener was certainly a bit of a curveball – not something I’d have thought of, but it worked.

Look like I missed a special performance, but it’s no surprise to me that the band were that good. I like the new songs introduced into the set. Distant Train makes a great opener, either to set one or set two. And with it being an instrumental, it makes Livvy’s entrance even more dramatic. Hope they stay with this for the rest of the year. And First Thought is another excellent addition to the set list. Love the version on the V Shows DVD. And if Bryan shuffles the pack once again on the oldies, now is the time for Hollow and The Gap.

I don’t discount the financial climate completely, but it’s not the only factor.

Quite a few of the “old guard” have stopped supporting the band despite still being prepared to travel many miles to see other bands, and one or two of them have been saying some very negative things about the current lineup of MA. The fact the some of them never liked Breathing Space probably isn’t a coincidence either.

good reveiew tim.
i wasnt at the gig but it sounds to me like it was a brilliant show.
do you really think that some fans have stopped going becuase of the change of singer, or do you think it might just be the financial climate we find our selves in. has anil been ?i didnt see him at cambridge
my gigs will be limited to local shows again this year. in the past i have travelled long distances but due to the afforementioned recession i can no longer afford the fuel.

I was already really looking forward to seeing Mostly Autumn for the first time in May, now I’m even more eager for the gig.
