There’s the sense as I leave, that without the curfew, Foy Vance would just have carried on. He’s not merely comfortable with what he’s doing, he’s damn well enjoying it and in that, he’s not alone.
We get a taster of what’s to come from Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo. Emily has a cherry red Gretsch electric guitar strapped on and Jo Silverston isn’t sat with cello, but standing with an equally vibrant Fender bass!
