Absolutely! He was fantastic, I'd been enjoying his Down Home album for a year or so before this, but even that great album couldn't have prepared me for his show!

So did we do good by booking Ben?  He far outlived all my expectations...I went on gut instinct when I booked him, and reckon it was the right decision.

Ok lets tell it like it is-I have NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE HIM IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.There is talented,megatalented, then there's Ben Prestage,flying above the clouds in the stratosphere,occupying a world mere mortals like us can only wonder about.I could wax lyrical about what he did for pages.It WAS incredible.If there was a blackbelt in music he'd be 10th dan.I woke the next day and witnessing his performance was the first thing that entered my head.Breathtaking.

Amazing performer. And to top it all off the mike stand was slowly collapsing for half his set and he didn't seem to let in faze him at all, just kept kept up the blistering playing while leaning further and further down to sing - what a trouper!
