The show was on for an hour and an half which they performed their famous songs like jim Keays with some of Masters Apprentices hits, russell morris with his famous hits and daryl Cotton doing some of his stuff including Eleanor Rigby an hit for the Zoot in 1971 and they had an very good sense of humour and early in the show jim keays did a bit of a song called Cancer Blues which 2 years ago Jim Keays had an cancer scare but is in very good health. they really rocked up that night and got everyone moving and despite being an hour and a half it was GREAT & I enjoyed it very much.
