WHAT AN UNUSUAL VENUE - A SHIP FROM THE FIFTIES LAST USED AS A TIMBER TRANSPORTER BUT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS DOCKED IN BRISTOL & TRANSFORMED INTO A BAR WITH A NIGHTCLUB IN THE LOWER CARGO DECK.
 IT WAS IN THE LOWER DECK THAT A FULL HOUSE WAS ENTERTAINED BY FIRST CLASS MUSICIANS AND WE WERE CERTAINLY SAILING THAT NIGHT.
AYNSLEY LISTER OPENED THE PROCEEDINGS AND WENT DOWN VERY WELL WITH THE CROWD, WHAT A TALENTED ARTIST HE IS, IT WAS A REALLY ENJOYABLE SET.
AFTER THIS WE MOVED FROM THE MAIN FLOOR TO A BALCONY THAT OVERLOOKED THE STAGE, THIS AREA WAS FULL BUT BY LUCK 2 SPACES BECAME FREE RIGHT ABOVE THE STAGE & RIGHT ABOVE ROBIN WHAT A STROKE OF LUCK!! I MANAGED TO TAKE A LOAD OF PHOTOS WITH MY BUDGET CAMERA!!

THEN THE "MASTER" TOOK TO THE STAGE, RT CERTAINLY SEEMS TO GET BETTER WITH AGE. WHAT A FANTASTIC SET LIST THE AMERICAN REVIEWS WERE SPOT ON, THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST SET ROBIN HAS PRODUCED .
 

HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME WERE SHAME THE DEVIL, GONNA BE MORE SUSPICIOUS, NO TIME. BUT THE BEST FOR ME WAS FOR EARTH BELOW THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, ROBINS GUITAR WORK & DAVEY'S VOCALS WERE OUTSTANDINg
THE SET LIST WAS AS PER PUBLISHED LIST EXCEPT ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE COMPLETED THIS FIRST CLASS PERFORMANCE.
THE ONLY NEGATIVE COMMENT ( WHICH IS A CHEEK WITH A GIG LIKE THIS - WAS AS YOU AMERICAN FANS REVEALED TOO ROLLING STONED CUT SHORT - WHAT A WASTE, BUT NEVER MIND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL!!! )
THESE ARE MOST CERTAINLY FOUR OUTSTANDING ARTISTS WHO GAVE AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE. I HAVE SEEN RT MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS INCLUDING TWICE WITH THE GREAT LATE JAMES DEWAR BUT THIS GROUP FOR ME WITH THIS FABULOUS SET OF SONGS ARE THE BEST.

Appreciation from both sides of the show

As Robin leaves the stage

AFTER THE SHOW ROBIN CAME OUT & SIGNED CDs AND CHATTED TO THE FANS THAT REMAINED WHAT A GENTLEMAN, A REAL PLEASANT GUY.
AS WE WALKED OUTSIDE THE SHIP WHO WAS ADMIRING THE VIEW OVER A CIGARETTE -  MR PATTISON ( I KNOW SMOKING IS NO GOOD FOR YOU BUT HE DESERVED THIS ONE ON TONIGHTS PERFORMANCE! )
WE ALSO SPOKE TO PETE & GLENN WHAT SOUND GUYS REALLY DOWN TO EARTH & HAD PHOTOS WITH THEM.
SO WHAT A GREAT NIGHT, THERE WAS NO ONE JUMPING SHIP TONIGHT - SAIL ON CARDIFF ON MAY 26th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
