Review
I have seen Adrian Legg play live at the Radcliffe Arms in Jericho Oxford three or four times way back in the mid 1980s.
Stunning and Spellbinding is the only way to describe Adrian's performances.
The things that Adrian can do with a guitar have to be heard and seen to be believed!
His between songs story telling is also top notch.
If I had too choose a favourite album and track I'd say the album 'Guitars and other Cathedrals' and the track 'Pass The Valium (With Knobs On)'
