Gerard at Ashton Court

Finally got around to a few lines on Gerard's gig at Ashton Court last
Saturday. He was joined on stage by Rodney Allen on acoustic guitar, and
Joff Lowson on the mandolin, and together they played to a packed
classical tent - people were fighting to get in! I missed the first track
- 'Broken & Mended', apparently, but managed to catch the rest. We were
treated to acoustic renditions of 'The Applicant', 'Spitting Out
Miracles', 'King of the Soap Box' (not played for ten years, apparently),
'10,000 Miles', 'Jacket Hangs' and 'Had it All...' (to hoots of laughter
at the full title). There may have been more but this is why I should
have written this earlier! All were received with rapturous applause, and
after demanding an encore we got 'Love Come Round'. The whole thing
worked pretty well - a bit sketchy in places, but that's the charm - and
the crowd loved it. Gerard seemed pretty pleased, so we can only hope it
will spur him on to doing some more gigs. Shame Rodney didn't sing us a
few of his own, but maybe next time.
