NOTES
Absolutely fantastic show, so delighted we went. Balcony, fifth row, left of centre. Those who have upped the previous shows have given the lowdown on the format, so not a lot for me to add. Ian was on fantastic form on flute, but voice was under massive strain during Thick As A Brick.

Delivering it as a duet with Ryan worked fantastically well (listen out for when he starts singing, two or three minutes in, and you can hear the hub-bub as the audience realise it's not Ian singing any more). His voice was incredibly close in timbre and intonation to Ian's - and fiona23yh (aka Her Indoors) was most disappointed that Ryan didn't sing more during TAAB2!
