Flo and I were lucky and had seats close to the front so no problems hearing Gwilym Simcock. I discovered Pat Metheny via Humphrey Lyttelton playing Lyle Mays's 1986 debut solo album and then looking for other MaysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890708154880054256.post-30666118941549159202017-11-13T16:30:45.165+00:002017-11-13T16:30:45.165+00:00Totally agree re: poor acoustic in the place.
