One of this reviewer's favourite bands, and one I've already reported on four times in the last couple of years. A small change to the line up, with a new man on double bass, but otherwise this was more of the (highly enjoyable) same.
With seven albums to fall back on, and several changes of style along the way, there's a good mix of songs throughout, with additional variety coming through sets of tunes from the exciting fiddling of Katherine Stewart. Rory Butler's vocals seem to improve each time I hear him, and the song arrangements are tight, displaying a variety of influences. But the highlight for me was Butler's guitar solo on the lovely ballad Let Me Wipe the Tears From Your Eyes
As ever the band ended the night coming out into the audience an leading them in a gospel number, a rousing encore to finish off the evening on a high.
