Yes, I did last week.
Great show, the Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was nice to hear some different DS tunes for a change.
What he played from the new album sounded good as well.

Fantastic Pondy, any more info? How did the question and answer sessions work?
Hoping to catch a show in the autumn if John announces more dates...

Paul Cummins was asking the questions, which was accompanied by a slideshow. I don’t recall there were any questions fielded from the audience.
After the questions there was a break for signing and cd/painting sales in the foyer. Then it was out with the music which sounded very fresh despite no drummer.

It was well worth going to see.

Have seen him in Germany a couple of weeks ago. Was  nice to hear the DS stuff, I really liked his solo stuff too. He had a great band, Robbie McIntosh played the solo of Sultans with a pick, brilliant.
There were no questions/answers.
JI is a great guy, he was really down to earth. Overall, it was a great concert.

I am sorry, but this is really boring! Sad. Not good at all.
