For what seemed like the first time this year the sun poked its head out from behind the clouds, and what better place to be than beside the river in Ilkley, at the Playhouse Theatre. The people were as welcoming as the weather and the venue was just as good-looking and sounding as we had hoped.

As a fairly local gig for me I was glad to be able to bring a few of my friends along and show them what JT is all about, and we did again get to sample some local beverages (Ilkley Best is a lovely one which had passed me by until now!). We look forward to returning to Ilkley in future years - an excellent theatre with superb facilities and charm.

Coming up this month: Berwick-upon-Tweed, Sheffield and Epsom.
