Masterful Show
JHJ are such a well crafted and blended group of musicians, and with exceedingly well written songs, they together are worth far more crowd numbers than were permitted by the Union Chapel capacity. Absolutely brilliant evening, and worth every old memory and new impressions, Great song book.

Surprisingly good
don’t think I’d like them. Took my mum for her birthday and was converted. Looking to go to another gig of theirs now.

Awesome
Awesome gig and venue (the Robin) and brill atmosphere. Every song was superbly performed with the new songs fitting in great with the classics. Great musicianship and a great voice and front man with just the right amount of banter. Will hopefully see again soon!
