The I.S.B. were very good, but personally I felt that they lacked the
sparkle that Dyke can produce in concerts.  There were several brash
moments from Dyke but that I think is always to expected from
them(especially their sop player!)They are still a band who can produce
amazing quiet sounds as well. As for the ISB,their programme was ok, but
several of my colleagues in the audience weren't impressed with their
surmon. They seemed to  take a slight liberty in presuming that the
audience were church goers and would want to hear this sort of thing. I
think that this marred their set slightly.
Regards. 

ps. How anyone can comment on  that James Morrison's talent I dpn't
know. Jealousy perhaps? I thought he was  marvelous.
