Theatre Royal Nottingham: Thank You

Despite the train from St Pancras being determined to hold things up, I managed to get to the Theatre Royal in time to give Mike and June a hug and do a neat sound check before the gig started.
The Theatre Royal in Nottingham is a gorgeous building, a gem in a lovely city that is full of surprises, as we discovered on The Daintees tour last year, and I had been looking forward to going back. Brass rails, thick pale green carpets, friendly staff and a warm welcome from the host, David Longford soon made me forget the journey.
I loved the gig- the sound was as clear as a bell, there was a  great atmosphere and a listening audience; I enjoyed chatting to people afterwards and it was great to meet one or two people who were familiar with The Chefs and Helen and the Horns. Now, here is a totally nerdy thing: the set list, with links where possible!
