Very enjoyable gig from Roving Crows (13/3/2024) as they completed their second night of four at the Queens Hotel, entertaining Cheltenham Festival-goers.
The evening consisted of four sets lasting an hour each. Rather than their usual material they displayed versatility with a number of Irish standards like the Fields of Athenry and Whiskey in the Jar as well as the odd Pogues song and a stunning version of 'Phoenix'.
The crowd - mainly Irish racing fans - were very happy and lots of Guinness was consumed.
