This was a wonderful evening of colourful intricate music, the sort that used to be a very regular feature of the Llangollen Fringe. Hopefully someone involved with that event will have seen this fantastic, hard-working band and will be booking them for next July. The Pavilion itself should be ashamed of the extremely poor publicity that it gave a group of musicians who would be more than at home at the International Eisteddfod.
