Last Thursday night Rhodri and I went down to Christchurch (nearest place for a convenient evening) to see Focus play. On a small stage they played to a packed standing audience covering all the old ground - Sylvia, Eruption, Focus 2/3, Harem Scarem, Hocus Pocus (now a showpiece for the amazing drumming of Pierre Van der Linden) and (as rumoured!) a splendid renditon of Round Goes the Gossip. The emphasis was a little too much on nostalgia for my liking but it was great anyway. It was a shame that everything started so late and the band didn't come down to meet and greet. An extra little treat on the way back was the request you can hear Janice Long fulfilling on the video. (PS the ghost was Thijs's joke - the ghost of Akkerman one wit quipped).
