I have always marvelled at Bruce' brilliant vocals and the Aqua Marina and Brightest Star tracks here show that he is still excellent. I have also put an entry on the Thomas forum re the two LP's from Local Heroes SW9 now being available for download from Amazon in the US or iTunes - I had both on vinyl already but again it is great to have them now on CD. For those who maybe don't know - this is Kevin Armstrongs band and Thomas features on 2 tracks and Matthew Seligman on one of the Albums. Well worth a listen - note sadly 'Sampson & Delilah' is not included as that was by Kevin's later band Bush Telegraph.
