John McCusker & Friends, Kings Place, London

 John McCusker has been a mainstay of the Scottish, and UK, folk scene for decades.  A key figure in several bands, an in demand producer, and a regular with Mark Knopfler's live band.  So it's no surprise that he has a great number of talented friends to draw on for this gig.

In addition to John, we also got Mike McGoldrick, Toby Shaer, Kris Drever, and Simin Thoumire.  Plus a variety of guests who came and went as the occasion demanded - Roddy Woomble, Kim Carnie, Jackie Oates, Sam Kelly.  So we had a strong linneup of top Scottish and English folk talent.

Greast sets, greart songs, great craic.  Effectively a brief reunion of supergroup Drever, McCusker, Woomble.  And some songs for the audience to join in on.  A perfect evening.
