Many thanks to Andy Swapp again:-

I can scarcely remember being happier, we danced [I do NOT dance] to the music of Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band not something normally associated with Don's compositions. I found myself singing along with practically very number [I DO NOT SING, let alone mouthing along at the front row like some love struck Kylie fan]

It was just plain AWESOME! I am sorry for the cliché but I was truly awestruck and am still struggling to find the words to accurately describe the evening. I had thought it might be nice to write to you guys after and determined that it would be easy to remember the set list - mistake! I was so blown away I cannot guarantee the number of songs or the order.

Hats off [literally] to John French for Drumbo who is clearly the honorary archivist of the band [- the Bill Wyman of the band if you will] he knows everything there is to know and kept up a stream of fascinating fact and anecdote between numbers that was simply enchanting and informative without being boring [we were never likely to be bored] but I have never heard a band exchange such an amount of info between numbers and it made for a great evening's set. Stuff about how many songs came about how they were composed, who was involved from Ry Cooder to John Thomas and how these guys came to be here.
