I went along to this event as I am a huge follower of Hazel O'Connor. I found that the venue was very good and the atmosphere fantastic.
Hazel put on a great show and I really do now enjoy the set including Sarah and Claire for me the threesome is simply perfect, as they compliment each other. The set it's self was a well balanced mix of the Breaking Glass and the Bluja material. The only song that I thought was missing was Rebecca however I understand that you can't fit a quart into a pint pot.
I am not familiar with Hugh Cornwell nor the Stanglers and so I heard his set for the very first time. I liked some of the songs more than others but I do not know which was Stranglers and which were from his solo catalogue. I would have found it helpful for him to have acknowledged that there would be members of the audience like myself and given a little more introduction to the numbers (as Hazel did) I would have purchased some of his merchandise had I had confidence what I was buying.
I would visit this venue again for sure, I will continue to follow Hazel and shall do some research into Hugh Cornwell, but I'm unlikely to attend a concert where he is the only performer, without first doing some research into his material.
