We know only too well about the M25 and the traffic hold-ups, but it sounds as though it was all worth the journey to see Jack again and listen to those unforgettable songs that are particularly his own. It's always nice to hear some oldies again as well as new recordings.
Croyden is another venue always appears to be well attended for performers like Jack. We saw Matt Jnr there last year, and we wish that we were able to go at least to the London venue Cadogan Hall, but family occasions prevent it. Enjoy the other concerts Marian we know you will.
