Hi our first time attending and definitely not the last.Only irritation was the usual cell phone junkies taking pictures during the show,Sound is always going to be a challenge given the small seating space.I was comfortable with the sound but my wife find it a bit hard. Anyway it is always difficult to meet all needs of a diverse audience.The show was great !!!! Regards.

This was one of the best concerts we attended. The musicians were very talented. The drummer was especially good. I wish I had attended both their concerts.
