At the risk of angering the VC gods, I am making the unprecedented decision to combine these two solo shows into one thread. Gasp!

 

If/when I get a second, I'll try to write some sort of thing about these two shows. But don't hold me to it...

Gasp indeed. I was wondering if they had really happened or not when there was nothing here for a week or so. So the usual ( but no less meaningful) ta. And whoever requested Dear Employer deserves a medal. It was always one of my favourites from the first JT solo shows that I got to hear - before there was ever one in the UK. Same goes for True Love Will Find You In The End. So Much Wine was another.

Also hope JT keeps Love Like A Wire alive too.
