Keep the Focus backstage


I don't know how many years they have been playing and touring , but I do remember them on Old Grey Whistle Test back in 72, Focus were in Scotland this week touring playing new material from their Focus eleven album out 16 November. 

At Kinross they played Silvia, Hocus Pocus, Focus 2 Focus 3, ...New tracks Who's calling? Mare nostrum , Mazzel and Focus 11- that I remember. 

2 and a half hour set was really good. and Thjs van Leer the keyboard and flute player and vocals of sorts ...and yodelling was the entertainer signing autographs and making himself available to the public.  Sound was good for this small venue and the atmosphere was good. My group, containing fans and non fans all loved the night.  The drum solo near the end by Pierre van der Linden the other founder was amazing and better than Cozy Powell! dare I say.
