The first slot finished, time to recharge the glasses. There was a real buzz around the hall, everyone talking about the guitar playing we'd just witnessed - not only sounding like Straits, but the vocal delivery from Aled sounded like Knopfler himself. 

The second slot began where the first left off, the audience again raising their hands aloft, clapping in time to the beat, the magical abilities of this band carrying us on a superb journey through "Twisting by the Pool", "Local Hero" and "Lady Writer" to mention just a few. 

All too quickly the night drew to a close, when the band said goodnight the hall erupted with applause, cheers and whistles, as it had all night..."More" was being shouted louder and louder, the place was now in a frenzy. They agreed to do a couple more - "Money for Nothing " was greeted in the usual manner, as was "Walk of Life". The band left the stage to  a standing ovation, once again the audience began the chants of 'more', and the whistling and cheering was intense. Was it all over? - the band were nowhere to be seen, the cheering continued - the stage door opened and the cheering became louder. The band agreed to do one final song and after only a couple of  notes, the place erupted once again as "Sultans of Swing" was instantly recognisable.
