Eddie was on for an hour and a half and played with a band of four. The instruments were traditional and the band were excellent. Eddie told a lot of stories between songs and her performance was as terrific as possible. The songs chosen were a bit eclectic but Eddie’s voice being as marvellous as ever made it a terrific evening.
