Thanks for the programme. Glad to hear the north of England is not out of bounds for Allison Neale: she's never played in the north west to my knowledge. Would love to hear her - preferably with Dave Cliff (who used to be a mate of mine back in his student days at Leeds College of Music.)
Sounds like a great gig despite the venue problems. I noticed it advertised and decided it was just too far away for me. Last year I saw Dave Liebman with the Vein Trio at Manchester's Band on the Wall and they were excellent.
