I see that the Youtube channels have just uploaded the latest in the videos from Robert's and my speaking tour last year - a snippet from Covington. A gig and a city that proved to be particularly memorable for a number of reasons.

This is the simple arrogance of a reviewer not yet quite grown out of believing their own reviews. Yet not quite...
