Got me tickets for Llandudno and Kinross weeks ago Llandudno because we lived near there not that long ago and also because State of Quo support. And Kinross because it's about 20 minutes from here. To be fair, I'm kept up to speed with Mrs Mortified and sis who both get their information from Facebook. Because I'm so last century

Great stuff. Freddie is some musician (as is Jim Kirkpatrick). His solos make the hairs on my neck stand up. But, with his mates, he prefers his music a bit more modern and downbeat. The fool

The fool To be fair that makes you sound like a grumpy old fart 😆😆 If the cap fits I've actually got a few of Freddie's releases with his own bands ( Me & The Moon, The Charge, Flawes, The Dead Famous) but, I have to admit, none of them are really for me. I think, even as a youngster, I wouldn't have been that keen. Although you can't really put yourself at 18 or whatever in 2023. It's not as simple as that. Life is entirely different to growing up when I (we) did. Flawes seem to have lasted a bit longer than the others and Rhino did mention they were getting airplay, so good luck to him/them 👍

I’m sure with his talent he has a great future ahead of him. I did find it strange last year when the Flawes were announced as the uk tour support and then it was changed to Lawrence Jones.

Nice gig in Winchester last night, was good to see Leon and John playing together in such a small venue.
I thought I was gonna miss Jim Kirkpatrick on guitar, but Craig did a fantastic job and has a good voice on him too. They had a guy playing harmonica on a few numbers which was a great addition to the sound.
Loved the new songs , I was very tempted to buy the sampler album but decided to wait for the full album later this year.
Unfortunately I didn’t have time to have a chat to the guys as my mate needed to get away but I did thank them and shake their hands, which was nice.
Does anyone know if Mike is still working with Rhino, as he wasn’t there on the merch stall. Last time I chatted to him he was saying he wanted to start winding down.
All in all a cracking night and I always come away feeling privileged to see such world class players in such a small venue.

Mike wasn't in Kinross either. I'm not sure if he's stopped managing Rhino or he's busy representing Katie Mehlua, who is pretty successful I think. I didn't appreciate Leon was on drums until I got to the gig in Kinross. I thought he was only doing a select few. His was the only signature I didn't have so I've now completed the set Craig Joiner on guitar was excellent. Jim Kirkpatrick is a hard act to follow, but this was seamless. Great set list, although I'd have loved to have heard Spacemaker and One Note Blues (which I believe he has played at other gigs). But Rhino does shake the set up, so respect for that 👍 Can't play everything! I get the impression this is his last tour so it was a privilege to be there. 23 years of Rhino gigs I've been going to now. Still feels like a new band!

He did play one note blues last night which I was pleased about, along with Republican which is another fave of mine. I’m not sure if I have heard that live before, but I may be wrong.

Republican didn't get an airing in Kinross either. A favourite of mine as well.
I love the way he shakes it up. How it should be in my book.
