In reply to Paul McMahon.

You are the first whinger to ever complain. Congratulations – you are unique, a one-off, a man standing on his own…

Why do you have such a coloured background on your website – do you not like people being able to read your reviews?

I was at their Manchester gig the other night and they rocked. Guy is one amazing drummer, Peter was on form, and lots of base pedal work from Hugh. The concert was a mix of new and old material with the emphasis on songs recorded by the trio on the last two releases. A very energetic performance from a trio whose combined age must be over 200.

Nice review, gets it on the button. Keyboards and (especially) drums were magnificent but PH is not a great guitarist. I would have liked to hear more older stuff, but it was a very good gig. I could have happily sat through another hour of it. Old is the new young!
