I think they are much better live. The novelty aspect quickly vanishes and you’re left with some godsmacking guitar/banjo/etc work. You know when they say “playing so fast his fingers were a blur”? I’d never believed it possible until now.
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Oooh, I like that photo a lot! Good colour, great movement.
Hmmm, I keep hearing this but when I listen to their music… owww. My ears!!

Indeed – they’re very good live.
