Chris leslie has a way of turning every song into child's tune....don't care for him much, & as much as I like ric, swarbrick was a more raw fiddler & more of a purist, I miss him. thanks again sir pat!
First time I've heard Chris Leslie referred to as a 'Geezer'. Anyway, yes it is CL; the line up here is Simon Nicol (Lead Vocals/Acoustic Guitar), Dave Pegg (Bass/Vocals), Ric Sanders (Violin), Chris Leslie (Mandolin/Vocals) and Gerry Conway (Drums).
Yep, 'The Basement' club in Sydney. This was the occasion when the band arrived in the country on Wednesday, played every night and then flew back to the UK on Monday!!!
OMG!! I could watch Ric all day every day, he's a god!!!!
