Fan Comments
A much shorter set, 30 minutes unlike Cambridge which was 45 minutes. Mark B was playing drums as Steve G went back to SLF duties. Well MP's voice was okay at Norwich – the set was short of Where Were You and Knife Edge. Disappointed to lose Knife Edge but I understand Mark B hadn't learnt that but he was extremely good, considering apparently he had learnt the tunes via a tape – what a star.
