Wow, Talk about laid back! I bumped into the band just beforehand and said hi, and told em that UV was one of the best albums I ever heard, Julianne then poked her finger in my T shirt and said, theres a wayward soul! It was my sisters T shirt with the vision thing line up on, including Tim B. Nice choice!! Got my UV inside sleeve signed, Mark Price wasn't there though. The banter between songs got quite lairy especially from Marty, who was hilarious, he made two people who were talking through What kind of fool sit on the floor in front of the stage! Andy was very verbal as well, both guitarists standing up for Share it with me at the end, well deserving of the standing ovation. Great deal of banter flying back and too, hilarious night out and a wonderful night for real music lovers. I'll leave you lot to work out what the set list was cos' I cant quite remember, dont know if ill sleep tonight. Martys girlfriend is gorgeous!!

To echo Rob's comments, an excellent, very pleasant evening in the wilds near Sheffield. Even Martha sounded fresh, a standout performance from Julianne in fact (as I'm sure the two gothic gentlemen forced to sit at the front appreciated!). Miss World was poignant, Freeze simply amazing (good use of FX on both guitars). Watching Marty wrench solos out of an acoustic as though it were electric was stunning. The setlist was the same as previously posted for the other shows.

Mr Cousins Snr was there, leading Andy to apologise for swearing at one point. Marty, as mentioned, was on top bolshie form all evening: "Welcome to another edition of 'The Marty Wilson-Piper Show'! Tonight, Marty will be taunting Sheffield fans about Def Leppard before picking a fight with anyone not from Liverpool, all the while fuelled by a stream of booze and fags provided by his own team of roadies! And now, heeeere's Maaarrrty!!!" Give that man a TV show.

Not sure the locals were so appreciative of the invasion. Could have done without sarcasm from the bar staff: "Ice and lemon with your *half* *a* *coke*, sir?" - "NO, stick a gallon of vodka in it so I feel relaxed at the wheel when I run over your regulars later, you tossah!"
