"Playing their first UK gig in well over twenty years what should probably be called Thijs van Leer's Focus as he is the only remaining original member the band were greeted by the largest crowd of the weekend. The leather coated heavy figure of van Leer reminded many present of Tom Baker's Doctor who as he walked across the stage, bottle in hand, to take his rightful position behind the wooden bulk of a Hammond Organ. It took more than five minutes for the band to actually start playing but when the Leslies, then flute, kicked in the wait was worth it." AJ alluded to this 2002 Whitchurch Festival gig on ROTR on Saturday night. Read the rest of the review here - but just under 14 years years later Focus played The Underworld, Camden last night.
