One more Longest Johns post...

[sally_maria]

After seeing them in Oxford back in the middle of March, I was umm-ing and ahh-ing about seeing them again on this tour - I really wanted to, but wasn't sure about taking more time off.

Then I realised the last show was in Bristol on Saturday evening, and I could get there after work, so it had to be done... The Bristol Beacon (a originally Victorian concert hall) would be their home town gig, and the biggest headlining show they'd ever done. Fans flew in from Europe and even the US, and it was a great party.

Singing with the lovely Nati Dredd, who opened for them, and was well worth seeing as well.

Very random, but one of my favourite reactors (who always does a wonderful job analysing the music also) reacted to Home Free:

Thank you - he's one of my favourite reactors as well. It's great to find someone who knows music as well as he does, but who also genuinely enjoys a wide range of styles.

I've been away for the weekend, but I'll be glad to catch up with that one.

I did wonder if I was preaching to the choir. ^_^ Good reactors tend to get a solid following.

Very much this.
