Fantastic show by Mab in another big venue. The whole place was buzzing (mostly with Goth lovers and goth bands) and the atmosphere was very good even if the choice of bar drinks was very scarce (like you can either have a pint of Carling or a pint of something else rather as drafts, only, and only 1 choice of mineral water) (very poor)
The stage was getting ready with the help of Stephano and other helpers and fans, and Mab came on, starting with their favourite Aria.
Jeremy was on top of herform and the vocals were outstanding. The crowd didn't know how to react so it was qute quiet between the songs (they probably expected to hear some Goth) and no moshing, but a strong interest, seeing the numer of people who took an interest in the upstairs stand. Unfortunately at that point none of the girls had any of my new dresses, and it made me realise it was quite urgent that Origane Fashion would come to their wardrobe rescue, so they could show up in something which equals their musical and physical beauties.
After the gig was a little gathering upstairs with fans and locals, and Lisa who had a sore throat was given a dose of heavy Echinacea extract which seemed to make her cough. Voltane was bright and volage and as Mab's best fan was faithful to his love.
We carried on after having stayed for Screaming Banshee Air Crew who were good , as the following bands were ratherover Gothfor my (our?) taste. and our stomachs were dying of hunger.

We came out, leaving Mab in there, and went to a lovely ethnic restaurant which didn't look grand from outside but was fantastic. Name to be filled in by Neil as well as address and phone number and details of the menues.
