Went to see the chaps at Honiton last Friday. They were on fine form (though I wondered if Ric was having trouble with his fiddle, as he seemed to be (ahem...) fiddling... with it at various points). But it sounded OK to me. In fact, the whole thing sounded good to me. I was especially pleased to hear Ric and Chris fiddling together on at least four numbers. There were certainly at least a couple of numbers dredged up from quite a long time ago, including one from one of Simon's solo albums. They just seem to go on getting better and better. I was reflecting on the fact that there was a period when Simon would regularly forget the words to at least one song per gig for a few years, but it must be at least 10 years ago now - and possibly longer than that, and it rarely seems to happen now.
I can recall Simon regularly forgetting the words to songs in the 80s. This may have been for different reasons...
