Focus, Westgate Hall, Canterbury - 30th October 2019
Good performance by the band, small venue with poor acoustics.

Amazing too see focus again, 46 years after the first time and they are still brilliant. Great venue, great PA, really close to the band. I will see them again, every chance I get.

I have to say that I never thought I would see Focus play a gig. I liked their music from hearing Sylvia back in 197? .
The Westgate Hall is not a big venue and so we were fairly close to the action. The band shuffled onto the tiny stage and settled in for an evening of brilliant music. They are all very talented. Thjis directed operations from his Hammond organ, Pierre was very dynamic on this drums, Menno is an incredibly gifted guitarist and a worthy successor to Jan Akkerman, and Udo held things together on the bass.
I recognised many of the tracks they played which was great.
The only downside was the slightly self-indulgent solos each member had which were just too long.
Overall great gig enjoyed by a highly receptive audience.

Some great pieces but the sound wasn't brilliant and the lo get pieces lacked some of the light and shade found on the albums. Great musicianship, guitar solos too long.

Focus, Under The Bridge (at Chelsea Football Club), London - 25th October 2019
I throughly enjoy both performances last night, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Chantel mcgregor, but her guitar work was excellent and some of her songs were smashing. Focus on the other hand were superb. My only grumble was with the poor refreshments quality, there’s a sign which says draught beer. But only the young would think that the beers on offer were any good they just don’t take any looking after.
