"We arrive in time for John Hyatt's solo set. It's a long day for him. There are several hours between his two appearances. Last time I saw John, his act contained an impressive array of musical styles (listen to his "Do what you wanna do" album and you'll appreciate that he casts a large net). John is a cool character, everyone's friend and off stage he's relatively self-effacing for a front man too. Today's performance was a tranquil acoustic guitar/vocal set. It's a summer stroll with playfully spirited lyrics. There's lots of descriptive dialogue between songs and his humour is sweet, and he radiates his warming personality throughout the room. There is something very folky about this performance today. This is John's only solo appearance during the week long tour. His workload is impressive. Next Tuesday John is involved in an orchestral project in Manchester. He's an artist too! John is probably working on several conceptual paintings at any given moment. If he had chosen to perform solo on other evenings during this tour, I imagine John would have creatively pitched each show from a different artistic perspective." - Neal Wright, Sabotage Times. http://www.sabotagetimes.com/music/on-the-road-with-the-3-johns/
