I completely concur with Vic – the Claim were bloody marvellous on Saturday night in Rochester.  Not better than I remember, as I said in the immediate aftermath, but simply as great as I made out in words written about them many years ago.  So it’s pleasing to know that my memory isn’t playing tricks on me, that it wasn’t all a dream, and that the Claim were – and are – worth raving about.

Phil Dillon’s photos of the night are infinitely better than mine.
