By pure coincidence I will be in N. Yorkshire that week.  I'm wondering if I can sneak away and get here.

It seems like too good an opportunity to miss, but I also feel bad about abandoning my parents (and possibly Mrs Nev) when we are only visiting them for a short time.

This possibly calls for some sneaky diplomacy  :twisted:

[GuyM]

Bring 'em along Nev!
We'll nice melodic stuff and I'll tell them a few tall tales!  
Anyhow whatever happens..nice thought!

[Nev]

Tickets purchased for Mrs Nev and I  

We'll have a day out in either Leeds or York and then go on to the gig in the evening.

I'm looking forward to this      

[GuyM]

Excellent news! Please come say HELLO!

[GuyM]

Hoping to be there  

I was  

My first encounter with the Wesley Centre.
Quaint makes it sound olde worlde......shoebox was the only word that came to mind last night.
OK it would be a large shoe box, but those are the sort of dimensions that it had.
Don't know if they normally use the stage, but the floor of the hall was used by the band last night.

The evening kicked off with Matt Stevens, my main reason for being there, described last night as a one man orchestra, but more of a one man Californian Guitar Trio would be slightly more accurate. If you haven't seen or heard Matt, you're missing out. Go out and buy some now. In fact you don't even need to go out to buy some. Amazing to watch him play live.

@ Matt, do you break a string every night, or only when I go?

Manning were the main turn, all 300 of them in a very small space, OK 9, of which there were between 6 & 8 playing at any one time. I'm sure that I've heard some Manning before but can't recall anything that was played last night,

@ me, find where you filed your Manning.

Quite a mix of material judging by the introductions. Shall definitely be indulging in some purchases.

A very enjoyable evening, to me a disappointing attendance, but not sure what the norm is for the Wesley Centre. It's an easy place to find and easy to get to from the M1 & M18. Plenty of parking close to the venue.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I have now released 12 of my own albums..so lots of back catalogue and tracks to choose a set from  

Audience sizes are funny some times you can have loads of people there and little reaction and other (like last night) a goodly number but a really nice attentive and appreciative crowd!

Matt and our gang will be repeating the experience in 2 weeks at the famous MET in Bury if anyone wants to come along..our last before the Summer break!

May see you there!
