The guys from Credo and The Watch were a real pleasure to work with. We were sad to see so few there, but had no complaints from either band. I'd even like to think we made a few friends along the way, which really makes doing this worthwhile.
I'm still searching for the magic formula for getting prog fans out into venues!

thanks, once again for organising things, Huw...I hope the band weren't too down about the size of the audience...
 ...I've sent them a MySpace message of thanks... |

But did they play Twilight Alehouse? An absolute must from that period...? |

I loved the Chapman Stick too, it's the first time I've seen one played in reallife. Excellent stuff.
One of their own tunes was really good too... I forget the title off the top of my head. |

I have to admit, I enjoyed their show...2 hours plus, with their own material, intermingled with many of the Genesis classics from the period, including Looking For Someone, White Mountain, Dusk, the Knife, Seven Stones, Harold The Barrel, Harlequin, Fountains Of Salmacis, The Return of the Giant Hogweed, and even the finale to Supper's Ready!
The vocalist really does sound like Peter Gabriel, and they did an excellent job of recreating the sounds of the era...it was just a shame they only played to an audience of 40, after having travelled over from Milan...

^^I know, mate...and I think you are doing the right thing, in latching on to bands who are playing the CRS during the same weekend...there is no reason why you can't gradually build this up, to become the Southern CRS within a couple of years...after all, the main reason why many don't go to Rotherham as regularly as they would like, is the sheer distance from the South, in view of rising fuel costs....

Hope to see you there (and many others!) - if we can build up the numbers, we'll make this a regular proggy hot-spot, but we need the support of all who can make it.
