Thought this was an excellent review to what was an excellent gig. Look out for the "Chick Billy" reference - hilarious! Obviously the Duke's accent was just a tad too strong for that particular reviewer, bless!! :D

Cue the uk mainland folk saying 'Chick Billy' to confirm it does indeed sound like a Belfast twang of the real thing.....'chick billy' 'chick billy'

Printing this out to give to Chip on Sunday.....hilarious indeed!

And Steve......Chris Sharp wrote it!

Thanks for the redirection very_special.....or can I call you very?
I was mulling over the Chick Billy reference and realised the mistake was made by someone with cloth ears and a poor line in checking details.
What a blessing that we on this forum have a well-developed sense of the ridiculous :D

Absolutely Jan, we pride ourselves on our shameless ridiculousness on this board :D

very_special is how I describe Mr Wilson and his music, 'Duke' just doesn't go far enough.

Kieran is my name if you wish you use that? :)

Honoured to make your aquaintance Kieran.
Long live ridiculousness :D
Counting down to Later with Jools Holland tonight.......3 hours to go :P
