One of the great things about the Shindig was getting back together on stage with old friends Norman King and Sean Savage. We used to play together as 'The Cat's Back!' in the early 90's. We trashed out our favourite songs from 'The Cat's Back!' setlist, Kieran Halpins ' Friend For A While', Lynyrd Skynard 'Tuesday's Gone', JJ Cale's 'After Midnight' and 'They Call Me The Breeze', John D. Loudermilks 'Aboline' Jimmy MacCarthy's 'Ride On' and many many others. A truely great buzz..

There were some great artists at the Shindig. Two highlights were the reunion of The Wild Geese on Saturday night and Claire Nicolson from London.
