Well actually Vanilla Ride tonight is just Veronica. The absence of 2/3rds of the band is not explained. It is a pity they are not here to be photographed in this (pretty much uniquely) well lit venue.

Veronica looks rather small and lonely as she climbs the big stage, and perhaps a little nervous. This may not be helped by the apparent lack of an audience. Initially there is just me and the soundman, but as she starts a decent crowd arrive (I realised later that the Bull and Gate have TVs in the bar showing the stage).

Vanilla Ride and Veronica have songs which sound charming and fragile, the lyrics are mostly sad and rather bitter; but the performance is sweet.
