FIRST HEARING:
Oops! Let's just check the booklet again! Yes, this is the SFO.
Coming out with 'drums blazing' and with a hell of a spring in the step.
A decidedly modern mix for the outfit showing, perhaps, that John Mason MBE is taking a wee bit more of a back seat and allowing his prodigy, Andrew McGarva, to steer the reliable old vessel into the future.
Well worth a listen.
