Mikes classical guitar was quite drowned out by the orchestra, but the mixer unit outside took care of that. There is a mention it could be released on i tunes or available from digital retailers, but the bum note towards the end will also need to be edited out. On completion of the concert Mike hastily packed his guitar waved at the crowd and left for bilbao sondika airport in a crazed rush!!! Back to top
