Short acoustic set on The Cornhill in Ippo featuring Shane, James, Gib and Fiddly paying tribute to the late, great Johnny Ace. The ten minute turnaround time didn't do us any favours in terms of onstage monitoring or the the audience any favours in the case of the sadly inaudible Fiddly, and the persistent drizzle didn't help in terms of being cold and damp by the end of it, but we did our thang, sold a couple of CDs and James was able to intersperse the songs with genuine and affectionate first hand reminiscences of Peely. He also signed off our closing ballad "In My Arms" with the memorable sequitur "Ladies and gentlemen - the world's first forty year old boy band...." ;D
