Peter, I saw Will on two occasions in Nottingham. The first was with a full band which included a middle-aged fiddle player and was quite astonishing. Shivers ran down my spine during 'Ohio River Boat Song' and I was close to tears as Will sang the line: "Hey my baby, don't slip away" during 'There Is No one...". It was simply one of the most moving spectacles I've ever witnessed. The second time was just Will and acoustic guitar, sitting on what looked like a small, wooden primary school chair. The gig wasn't quite as good. Everyone laughed when he said: "This next song is a Prince cover." Will looked bemused - it actually WAS a Prince song, although I have no idea what it was.
