They had some lighting problems but the audience got their phones out to illuminate things.

On Thursday night I saw the Miki Berenyi Trio in their rescheduled gig at one of my favourite venues. It was great to see them live after their North American tour.
We had loads of great tracks and as always there was plenty of dancing!
