This was my first visit to AMP by Strathmore and I came away with what is probably one of the best recordings I've ever done. With room for just 250 people in this acoustically-excellent room, I understand that there were only 80 tickets sold. I had no problem getting a great seat facing the stage-left stack. Fans of Dave Lambert will also appreciate that I was lined up with Dave's amp, adding a little extra guitar to the mix though not in an unbalanced way. While not an error-free performance, the power and passion of the Strawbs in 2016 is truly amazing.
