Just finished three shows for Cambridgeshire Libraries at Ramsey, Huntingdon and March. Great audiences and some excellent feedback. Thanks to The Library Presents programme team for booking us. And to Rob Leach for this video clip and for saying: "Thank you for a fantastic show last night. You are great all-round performers - vocalists, instrumentalists, actors and more - and the concept and details of the evening were all enlightening and good for the soul"
