      I was there! Right at the front. Did you spot Fergal Sharkey in the audience? Place was a long way from full, but what a performance.
      Gibson Les Paul Junior. My mate has one. Plays better than any guitar I’ve played.

      Cool! We didn’t spot Fergal Sharkey in the audience that day, but have since met him more recently.
      The Les Paul Junior sound is great. Personally think her sunburst sounds better than her TV Special. Think she may have been playing through Dumble amps at the time ? Great sounds and a great time.

    I saw her perform for the first time on this tour in the States. It was before the record was released so I heard the songs live for the first time and was blown away. Same with the second time I saw her on the High dive tour, I didn't have the CD yet and it was amazing. Usually you kind of like to know the songs first. I was dropped jawed amazed with tears in my eyes.
