   He played it at Croydon. And yes, he is good. I'm just not entirely
convinced that he fits in as well as he might. He did at the Astoria
better than at Croydon, and I think this is becaus ethey decided they
nededed to make more use of him. I could be wrong though.


I don;t think anyone's disupting that Nik's playing could be irksome,
but he has a style which seems more in keeping somehow. Not that I'm
suggesting a return of Nik, really.
