You dont get this sort of Show down the "Rose and Crown" on a Friday night so it was worth a Watch .. The Only MO connection I guess was "Lang Lang" who did a Piano piece centre stage early on...                            Sort of a Great gig for the Scots too.. Couldnt get the Connection with the "Scotland the Brave" Bagpipe set that was played at least 5 times.. .. Think London will be sort of thinking how the hell u beat that.for a show in 2012.. "A tough act to Follow".                         If you didnt see the Torch Light .. Watch it sometime.. was pretty Good...   -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations.

(South Australia, Channel 7, Saturday Night, Aug 16, 10:15pm) It was a segment about swimmers. The first piece I heard was from the track Shabda. -------------- I hate getting up early.
