Steve Hackett in Lydney

Took the day off on Friday and went with Rob to one of the first UK dates for Steve's tour.  For those who don't get out much, Lydney is just north of Chepstow and almost in Wales on the banks of the river Severn.   Summer's end festival was a most appropriate title since as we approached the toll bridge it started bucketing down.  

Great sold out gig with a light show that transformed the old Victorian Town Hall.  Lovely to see everyone after such a long time and managed to get a few decent shots although had to push the ISO so they are grainy and the smoke to make the lights even more spectacular make it a devil to focus.  So, most of the time I concentrated on enjoying the gig.  Now looking forward to the event in London.
