Flynn was supported by a great new local band called, Dot to Dots who set the seen for the folk driven rock of the night. Beautifully written songs with spot on harmonies between the two lead singers. Flynn himself started the evening with his successful single 'The Box' which got the crowd into the dancing mood. Pretty soon the area near the stage was transformed into what looked like the line dancing in a town hall….but they were having fun! The Sussex Wit had brought with them a huge range of instruments and they were all played perfectly, or as a woman in the audience next to me remarked, ‘ere, they aren’t ‘alf talented ain’t they?’ Flynn played everything from lead guitar and banjo to trumpet, whilst the rest of the band shifted their instruments around, from double bass, keyboards, drums, bass guitar and a flute. The tone of the night was more like a hoedown than a rock concert, with a definite folk if not country quality to the music which worked to brilliant effect with Flynn’s carefully constructed lyrics and rich vocal gravitas. All in all a great night, with a truly appreciative crowd - all obviously big fans.
